Jim Henry - The Tree
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
The first one I remember
C G
Was about three times my size
D
We all stood there watching
G
As Dad brought it inside
C
It took almost an hour
G D G
To stand it up just right
C G D G
When he was done he held my Mama tight
[Verse 2]
We made cookies and hot chocolate
C G
Sewed popcorn on a string
D
Cranked up the record player
G
So Mom could sing along with Bing
C
We hung candy canes and ornaments
G D G
And tinsel liberally
C G D G
Turned off the light, plugged in the Christmas tree
[Chorus]
C
We can't start until it gets here
G
And we won't stop until it goes
C
It arrives on top of Dad's old Ford
G D
But only stays a week or so
G
It's the one family tradition
C
On which we all agree
G C G D G
It's just not Christmas 'til we've got the tree
[Verse 3]
We wrote down what we wanted
C G
All the bikes and guns and games
D
Mom set the list on fire
G
Sent 'em up the chimney in flames
C
Tucked us all in tight
G D G
Said, in the morning we will see
C G D G
What Santa leaves under the Christmas tree
[Chorus]
C
We can't start until it gets here
G
And we won't stop until it goes
C
It arrives on top of Dad's old Ford
G D
But only stays a week or so
G
It's the one family tradition
C
On which we all agree
G C G D G
It's just not Christmas 'til we've got the tree
[Verse 4]
The tree looked different in the morning
C G
All its promise was fulfilled
D
Surrounded by our presents
G
From floor to window sill
C
And after all the noise and Polaroids
G D G
And shouts of joyful glee
C G D G
I fell asleep under the Christmas tree
[Chorus]
C
We can't start until it gets here
G
And we won't stop until it goes
C
It arrives on top of Dad's old Ford
