Green Christmas chords by Barenaked Ladies

Chords with lyrics

INTRODUCTION: D MajorD

VERSE 1:

  Am7Am7
The streets are filled with Christmas cheer

  Am7Am7
At least it's only once a year

E minorEm
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,

  D MajorD
And carols ringing in my ear

  Am7Am7
I'm bundled up against the cold

Am7Am7
Lines wherever gifts are sold

E minorEm
Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

  D MajorD
For everybody young and old

CHORUS:

C majorC
Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree,

      Am7Am7
But it's a green Christmas for me

D MajorD


VERSE 2:

Am7Am7
Couples skating on the pond [couples skating on the pond]

Am7Am7
Makin' angels on the lawn [makin' angels on the lawn]

E minorEm
Five red mittens drying on the rad
  D MajorD
And needles shedding tannenbaum

CHORUS:

C majorC
Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,

      Am7Am7
But it's a green Christmas in this town

D MajorD


BRIDGE:

C majorC
Green, cos of everything I miss

     C majorC
All this mistletoe, no kiss

     A minorAm
And with every Christmas wish

      A7A7
There would be no greater gift

     A7A7 (let ring)
Than to have this envy lift


INSTRUMENTAL: D MajorD


VERSE 3:

         Am7Am7
(Fa la la la...) Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la...)

   Am7Am7
Don't wanna hear them anymore

CHORUS:

A minorAm
Stockings on the mantle

  E minorEm
The snow's here everyday

      G+G
But it's a green Christmas anyway

E minorEm
Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree

      G+G
But it's a green Christmas for me
