intro: 
E MajorE
A augmentedA
1. A augmentedA young gentleman came riding past,
E MajorE
on a snow-blue winter's day.
A augmentedA
He asked to drink by our fire
E MajorE
and I was pleased to let him stay.
A augmentedA
He drank there quietly for a while,
E MajorE
and then he turned and said to me :
E MajorE
"Your eyes are green like summer grass,
E MajorE
your lips are red, like a fresh cut rose.
E MajorE
Your hair is soft, like an Irish stream,
E MajorE
and your voice is filled with sweet beauty."
D MajorD
And the last words I heard him say
- - - - - - - - - - - A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE - A augmentedA
were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
A augmentedA
2. And the night will come, but I won't sleep,
E MajorE
as I watch the stars that lead him.
A augmentedA
I cannot place where he is,
E MajorE
but still my heart goes with him,
A augmentedA
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes
E MajorE
for the day that I'll be leaving.
E MajorE
Father knows, my sister knows,
E MajorE
and my friends, they're happy for me.
E MajorE
And the priest he says, you should thank God,
E MajorE
for the blessing, of such beauty.
D MajorD
And the last words I heard him say
- - - - - - - - - - - A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE - A augmentedA - D MajorD
were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
A augmentedA
" I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
E MajorE (...)
D MajorD
And the last words I heard him say,
E MajorE
were the last words I ever heard him sa...y.
E MajorE
" I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
E MajorE
I swear, I will return, on Christmas Day.
E MajorE
Yes, I shall return, on Christmas Day.
E MajorE
I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day.
E MajorE
My love, I will return, on Christmas Day.
E MajorE
