Christmas Is Near chords by Ralph Stanley

Chords with lyrics

G+G                     D7D7
Holly in the window the fireplace burning bright
                    G+G
Candle lights a glowing on a Christmas night
                      D7D7
I'll see the smiling faces once again this year
                       G+G
Waiting for me at the door Christmas time is near

                   D7D7
Out in the country about this time of year
                  G+G
Everybody's happy Christmas time is near
                    D7D7
Little children playing running to and fro
                  G+G
Santa Claus is coming riding on the snow

      D7D7       G+G
I remember years ago when just a lad at home
A7A7                 D7D7
How I longed for Christmas time and nothing could go wrong
G+G                       D7D7
Now today as I look back it seems like just a year
                      G+G
Going back to see 'em all Christmas time is near

       D7D7       G+G
I can see the pine trees now swaying here and there
   A7A7                D7D7
They seem to know it's Christmas time there's joy everywhere
G+G                      D7D7
Ice froze on the branches the water cool and clear
                    G+G
Snowflakes a falling Christmas time is near

                   D7D7
Out in the country about this time of year
                  G+G
