Chords

As recorded by My Morning Jacket (From the 2023 Album HAPPY HOLIDAY!) [Chorus]
N.C.   G
Oh, my Christmas tree

           Bm
Will never get to grow

     C              G
Into all its mighty rings

          C
But for a month or so

        Bm
All the joy I don't know

            Am             G
And all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 1]
C
Dime store hopes

        Bm
They’re hanging in rows

        A                         D
And I'm wondering what could they mean

    C
Old Ebenezer's free

     Bm
With wires for roots

       A                 D
And an angel cut from an old magazine
[Chorus]
N.C.   G
Oh, my Christmas tree

           Bm
Will never get to grow

     C              G
Into all its mighty rings

          C
But for a month or so

        Bm
All the joy I don't know

            Am             G
And all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 2]
C
Wouldn't you know

Bm
Bulbs used to grow

     A                       D
Like apples for picking from trees

        C
And its spirit's forever

    Bm
And life overflows

       A                            D
And it must be why they call it the evergreen
[Chorus]
N.C.   G
Oh, my Christmas tree

           Bm
Will never get to grow

     C              G
Into all its mighty rings

          C
But for a month or so

        Bm
All the joy I don't know

            Am             G
And all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 3]
              C
There's still some of them out there

       Bm
In the snowy night

        A                          D
There's some of them inside by the fire

     C
They gaze through the window

   Bm
Of love's warm glow

         A
And they dream of growing up

D
Higher and higher
[Out-Chorus]
N.C.   G
Oh, my Christmas tree

           Bm
Will never get to grow

     C              G
Into all its mighty rings

          C
But for a month or so

        Bm
All the joy I don't know

            Am             G
And all the spirit that it brings
