Misc Christmas – A Christmas Eve Carol (Guitar)

N.C.                          G7
The angels all have vanished.

    C               G
The stars above all hide.

        C         C7
And the verity of centuries

   F           F7
of crosses and Christmas trees,

  C              G C    Csus4  C
I realize long ago died.

    C          G7       C
But still this night is different.

   Em/G                       G
It shimmers in a most unusual way,

      C                   C7
as if something more than catalogs,

F                  F7         C/G     G      C   Csus4  C
ribbons, cards, or carolers begins to softly say:

C         Caug    Gadd9  F
Sell your soul to no     one.

     Am       G7             F
Give all your hopes away for free.

    E7         Fmaj7   Cmaj7   G7/D       Dm7   D7
And don't look back on all the things you never had,

   C             G       C
tonight you have all you need.

    C        G7       C
You say your way's forgotten,

    Em/G                G
and each day lived is a grave.

    C                   C7
And though you found no Bethlehem,

     F                   F7
just scattered Myrrh and Frankincense,

C/G       G         C    Csus4  C
something still was saved.

C         Caug    Gadd9  F
Sell your soul to no     one.

Am            G7             F
Give all your hopes away for free.

    E7         Fmaj7   Cmaj7   G7/D       Dm7   D7
And don't look back on all the things you never had,

   C             G       C
tonight you have all you need.

   C             G       C
Tonight you have all you need.
