My Morning Jacket - Oh My Christmas Tree Chords

[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
