Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Key: G

Intro:

Em G  Am Am
D7 D7 G  G

Verse 1:
G                          Am
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn
    D                       G
The cloak of the soldier is withered and worn
    Em            G             Am
But what child is this that was poverty-born
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day

Chorus:
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly
    D7                 C      G
The dove that rests in yonder tree
               Em         Am
The light that shines for all to see
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day

Verse 2:
G                               Am
The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years
  D                       G
A promise that silenced a thousand fears
  Em             G         Am
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day

Chorus:
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly
    D7                 C      G
The dove that rests in yonder tree
               Em         Am
The light that shines for all to see
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day

Verse 3:
G                      Am
Add all the grief that people may bear
D                        G
Total the strife and the troubles and care
Em          G           Am
Put them in columns and leave them right there
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day

Chorus:
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly
    D7                 C      G
The dove that rests in yonder tree
               Em         Am
The light that shines for all to see
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly
    D7                 C      G
The dove that rests in yonder tree
               Em         Am
The light that shines for all to see
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
