Key: E

🎄 🎅 Intro:

E    A   x2  (honkytonk piano lick)



🎄 🎅 Verse 1:

E                E/D#
Snow is falling faster now
     E/C#         E/B
And dusting on a hill.
A               F#m
Skaters on the river
B

Gentle dancers in the chill.
G#m
The children's laughter ringing
A                          E/G#
As they overturn there sleighs
F#m                    B         E
Waiting for a country Christmas day.

E     A     E (honkytonk piano lick)

🎄 🎅 Verse 2:

E                       E/D#
The chimneys hold the promise
       E/C#         E/B
Of a friendly fire inside.
      A                F#m
And though it's after bedtime
B
All the children's eyes are wide.
       G#m
There might be cakes and short bread
      A            E/G#
On a shiny silver train
F#m            B               E          E   F#  G#
Waiting for a country Christmas day.

🎄 🎅 Chorus:

A                  E/G#
Christmas in the country
A/F#            E/G#
Like another time and place.
   A                      B
I see it in the little things
A             E       E  F# G#
In every smiling face.
A                      E/G#
It's crystal nights and far of lights
      F#m             E/G#
And children count the days.
           A           B                   E
Country Christmas and love will lead the way.

E    A    E (honkytonk piano lick)

🎄 🎅 Verse 3:

 E                E/D#
Dogs run after snowflakes
E/C#           E/B
In a never ending chase.
   A                    F#m
Soft lights through the window
B
Foster's dalycurtis lay's
   G#m
And reunited loved ones
A                       E/G#
Who've been far too long away
F#m             B               E             E F# G#
Waiting for a country Christmas day.

🎄 🎅 Chorus:

A                  E/G#
Christmas in the country
A/F#             E/G#
Like another time and place.
   A              B
I see it in the little things
A           E          E  F# G#
In every smiling face.
A                        E/G#
It's crystal nights and far of lights
      F#m               E/G#
And children count the days.
          A            B                  E             C#m
Country Christmas and love will lead the way.
