Christmas Morning
Lyle Lovett
The Road to Ensenada
1996

Capo I

[intro]

A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA / A augmentedA E MajorE / A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA / A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA

[verse]

  A augmentedA             D MajorD        A augmentedA
The girl at the grocery she's pretty and seems nice
  A augmentedA                E MajorE
But she looks right through me with eyes cold as ice
A augmentedA           D MajorD     A augmentedA
She never answers when I ask her name
A augmentedA           E MajorE      A augmentedA
She only says I should have a great day

[walk up to chorus]

           D MajorD

E MajorE|----0-----------|--3-------------|
BB|----2-----------|--2-------------|
G+G|----2-----------|--3-------------|
D MajorD|----2-----------|----------------|
A augmentedA|----0--2--4-----|----------------|
E MajorE|----------------|----------------|
 ...day     But hey...

[chorus]

  D MajorD       A augmentedA
But hey what could she mean by that
  E MajorE           A augmentedA   G+G D MajorD  E MajorE
Perhaps I'm the fool she takes me for
       A augmentedA   (4 measures)
Not anything more

 A augmentedA             D MajorD      A augmentedA
I guess it's the season the time of the year
   A augmentedA            E MajorE
When people they're happy and full of good cheer
   A augmentedA                 D MajorD     A augmentedA
Well they'll wish you and kiss you and wish you again
      A augmentedA              E MajorE      A augmentedA
And they'll tell you it's peace and good will to all men

[chorus 2]

  D MajorD       A augmentedA
But hey what could they mean by that
  E MajorE           A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD  E MajorE
Perhaps I'm the fool they take me for
       A augmentedA   (4 measures)
Not anything more

  A augmentedA           D MajorD      A augmentedA
We stood at the altar and you held my hand
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
And everyone watched as the preacher he asked
     A augmentedA             D MajorD      A augmentedA
Will you take him and love him for bad and for good
A augmentedA             E MajorE      A augmentedA
You looked at me then you told him you would

[chorus 3]

  D MajorD      A augmentedA
But hey what did you mean by that
  E MajorE           A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD  E MajorE
Perhaps I'm the fool you take me for
       A augmentedA   (4 measures)
Not anything more

[verse]

  A augmentedA            D MajorD     A augmentedA
Now each Christmas morning I sit in my chair
      A augmentedA           E MajorE
And I look up at the angels that float through the air
   A augmentedA            D MajorD     A augmentedA
Some look down upon me, some come to my side
     A augmentedA           E MajorE      A augmentedA
And they tell me that Jesus he said to say hi
