SONG:
Em
There's snow on your collar, boy
                      G
There's snow on the bench
          D
There's snow on the sleeping grave
                  Am
And the crooked fence

C
And if you've been crying
        C(with pinky)
With my hand on my chest
I swear I'll never tell

Em
The town is aglow with lights
              G
The carolers sing
D
You sister won't sleep tonight
                    Am
For the morning brings
  C
That old happy Christmas
          C(with pinky)
You came here to find it
I did as well

Em                       G
For joy doesn't come in boxes
    D                   Am
Nor peace in a heavy watch
 C           Em            G               D
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
         Am        G     D
But the search it never stops

The son of a holy man
You dream of the saints
So thin with your poet hands
And your eyes of flame

And I'd like to kiss you
Full on the mouth
I don't care if you tell

For love doesn't come in boxes
Nor truth in a crowded shop
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
But the search it never stops

Em     G       D
Ohhh, ooohh, oooh,
Am
dum dum dum da da da,
C
dum dum da da da
C(with pinky)
Uhuh aaaaaah

For faith doesn't come in boxes
Nor God in your silver cross
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
But the search goes on and on
   Em          G       D
The search it never stops


A few notes on how to play:
On the C chord during the verse, you sometimes put your
pinky down where you would on a G chord where the lyrics go
slightly high on that line and hold it there for a
couple of beats until you switch the chord.
