VERSE:
 G             C      G
Away in a manger that`s the song that he hums
     G                     D
Pitchin` hay for the cattle and he`s got horses to run
   G             C
The snow on the pines is like tinsel that shines
     G          D      G G
There`s work to be done, but he doesn`t mind


CHORUS:
   Em          D     C   G
His Christmas lights are stars in a Montna sky
 G                     D  D
His Christmas cookies are ham biscuits he fried
  G                  C
No stockings by his fire, just his ole cattle dog Gus
     G              D      G G
A glass raised to his Maker that`s a cowboy Christmas


VERSE:
  G           C       G
A strong cup of coffee, beans and corn bread
  G                 D
No visions of sugarplums dance in his head
    G             C
Just dreams of an old love they twirl and they spin
   G               D     G G
What he wouldn`t give if he could hold her again


CHORUS:
 Em         D       C      G
Barbed wire wrapped fencepost like garland on trees
  G                      D D
No mistletoe, no sweetheart, no presents he`ll see
     G              C
Just the warmth of a fire and his ole cattle dog Gus
     G              D      G G
A glass raised to his Maker that`s a cowboy Christmas


INSTRUMENTAL:
G G C C G G D G G


VERSE:
   G             C       G
The doggies are sleeping, the wind`s whining low
   G                    D
It`s time to bed down but in the firelight`s glow
  G            C
He opens his Bible the one his mama gave
      G         D       G G
Reads the story of Jesus born on Christmas day


CHORUS:
   Em          D     C    G
His Christmas lights are stars in a Montana sky
 G                     D  D
His Christmas cookies are ham biscuits he fried
  G                  C
No stockings by his fire, just his ole cattle dog Gus
     G              D      G G
A glass raised to his Maker that`s a cowboy Christmas

        G             D      G G
He`ll tip his hat to his Maker that`s a cowboy Christmas
