Chords with lyrics
This song is played on banjo, and since I do not have a banjo, I learned it on Ukulele and guitar.
These are the chords to the song. Enjoy!
Standard tuning.
[***] = Play melodic lick
Intro: A augmentedA
A augmentedA
Well, on Queen Street they're all laughing
B minorBm
And they're piling the boxes up high
A augmentedA
But the sidewalk looks like ashes
D MajorD A augmentedA
From the cars that are passing us by
A augmentedA
There is water on your lashes
B minorBm
Must be more than just snow in your eyes
A augmentedA
While I tie a bright red sash around
D MajorD A augmentedA
Your shoulders, and that will be fine
E MajorE [***]
'Cause you are a gift

A augmentedA
Well, if trees could be a warning
B minorBm
Then I'd know where my collar should hide
A augmentedA
And I know tomorrow morning
D MajorD A augmentedA
Just exactly whose heart isn't fine
A augmentedA
It's a silent night
B minorBm
But I cannot tell if it's truly divine
A augmentedA
Bells will be ringing, but I would be blind to them
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE [***]
Outside they're singing, but I don't pay no mind to them
D MajorD A augmentedA
