Chords with lyrics

The Holly and the Ivy

   D MajorD
The holly and the ivy,

   B minorBm          A augmentedA
When they are both full grown,

  D MajorD            B minorBm
Of all the trees that are in the wood,

   G+G       A7A7   D MajorD
The holly bears the crown.

   D MajorD
The rising of the sun

     B minorBm        A augmentedA
And the running of the deer,

   D MajorD        B minorBm
The playing of the merry organ,

    G+G      A7A7   D MajorD
Sweet singing in the choir.

The holly bears the blossom,
As white as the lily flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour:
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.

The holly bears a berry,
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good:
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.

The holly bears a prickle,
As sharp as any thorn,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas day in the morn.
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.

The holly bears a bark,
As bitter as any gall,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all:
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
