Christmas Morning
Lyle Lovett
The Road to Ensenada
1996

Capo I

[intro]

A   D A / A  E / A   D A / A  E  A

[verse]

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

[walk up to chorus]

  ...day         But hey...

[chorus]

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

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

[chorus 2]

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

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

[chorus 3]

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

[verse]

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