Green Christmas chords by Barenaked Ladies

INTRODUCTION:  D

VERSE 1:

    Am7
The streets are filled with Christmas cheer

   Am7
At least it's only once a year

Em
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,

    D
And carols ringing in my ear

    Am7
I'm bundled up against the cold

Am7
Lines wherever gifts are sold

Em
Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

    D
For everybody young and old


CHORUS:

C
Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree,

           Am7
But it's a green Christmas for me

D


VERSE 2:

Am7
Couples skating on the pond [couples skating on the pond]

Am7
Makin' angels on the lawn [makin' angels on the lawn]

Em
Five red mittens drying on the rad
    D
And needles shedding tannenbaum


CHORUS:

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

           Am7
But it's a green Christmas in this town

D


BRIDGE:

C
Green, cos of everything I miss

         C
All this mistletoe, no kiss

          Am
And with every Christmas wish

            A7
There would be no greater gift

         A7  (let ring)
Than to have this envy lift


INSTRUMENTAL:  D


VERSE 3:

                 Am7
(Fa la la la...) Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la...)

      Am7
Don't wanna hear them anymore

CHORUS:

Am
Stockings on the mantle

    Em
The snow's here everyday

           G
But it's a green Christmas anyway

Em
Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree

            G
But it's a green Christmas for me
