Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is played on banjo, and since I do not have a banjo, I learned it on Ukulele and guitar.
These are the chords to the song. Enjoy!
Standard tuning.
[***] = Play melodic lick
Intro: A
A
Well, on Queen Street they're all laughing
Bm
And they're piling the boxes up high
A
But the sidewalk looks like ashes
D A
From the cars that are passing us by
A
There is water on your lashes
Bm
Must be more than just snow in your eyes
A
While I tie a bright red sash around
D A
Your shoulders, and that will be fine
E [***]
'Cause you are a gift

You are a gift
A
Well, if trees could be a warning
Bm
Then I'd know where my collar should hide
A
And I know tomorrow morning
D A
Just exactly whose heart isn't fine
A
It's a silent night
Bm
But I cannot tell if it's truly divine
A
Bells will be ringing, but I would be blind to them
D A E [***]
Outside they're singing, but I don't pay no mind to them
D A
When you are a gift
