Chords with lyrics

Intro:
G+G A minorAm D MajorD C majorC G+G


Verse 1:
   G+G
I remember how the snow fell in December
   C majorC
And angels flew in pageants and in dreams
    A minorAm
And I came in at six o'clock from a long hard day of playing
     C majorC
To the warmth of Mama's cookin'
                 G+G
Or was it the warmth of Mama's love?

       G+G
There were cardboard pirate ships and mud puddle seas
     C majorC
And the backyard was a battleground for cowboys
   A minorAm
When Daddy drug me outta bed on early Sunday morning
  C majorC
I remember how he smiled at me and said--

Chorus:
     G+G        C majorC
He said, "Rise, rise and shine
   A minorAm
The day is coming on
         C majorC
And you know the night is gone
   G+G
So rise."


Verse 2:
   G+G
I remember how the shepherds lay in slumber
     C majorC
And the angels came and broke them from their dreams
   A minorAm
When Mary raised her weary head
   A minorAm
And Joseph stood there grinning
   C majorC
The world awoke to the coming of a king

      G+G
There were haystacks in his palace
    G+G
And a manger was his throne
   C majorC
As a hush fell on the little town of David
     A minorAm
And the hillside never shined so bright
  A minorAm
As early Christmas morning
      C majorC
You could almost hear the very heavens sing

Chorus:
       G+G        C majorC
They sang, "Rise, rise and shine
  A minorAm
The sun is coming in
         C majorC
And the morning light is shining in
   G+G         C majorC
Your eyes, oh rise and shine
  A minorAm
The day is coming on
          C majorC        E minorEm
And you know the night is gone so rise"

E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC


Verse 3:
  E minorEm
I remember how the sunlight turned to thunder
     C majorC
And the people ran for shelter from the rain
     A minorAm
And the curtain tore and the saints awoke
     A minorAm
And the whole earth seemed to tremble
     C majorC
From the fury of God's anger
            G+G
Or was it the fury of His love?

       G+G
There were shadows on the tomb there in the garden
     C majorC
And the mist was rising slowly through the trees
   A minorAm
When Mary saw the silhouette on early Easter morning
   C majorC
I remember how he smiled at her and said


Chorus:
      G+G        C majorC
He said, "Rise, rise and shine
   A minorAm
The sun is coming in
         C majorC
And the morning light is shining in
   G+G         C majorC
Your eyes, oh rise and shine
   A minorAm
The day is coming on
          C majorC        G+G
And you know the night is gone so rise"
