Biografia:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

From: Barrie McCombs
FIRST CHRISTMAS Time: 3/4 (sync) Tenor: D Bass: C?
- Stan Rogers, 1979, on Between The Breaks, Key: D
INTRO: 1, 6m, 57, 1
1 * 5 1
This day a year a-go, he was rolling in the snow
6m 5 4 1 *
With a younger brother in his father's yard
5 * 6m * 2m
Christmas break, a time for touching home, the heart of all he'd known
* 5 4 5
And leaving was so hard_________
1 * 5 *
Three thousand miles a-way, now he's . working Christmas Day
6m 5 4 1 *
Making double time for the minding of the store
5 * 6m
Well he always said, he'd make it on his own
* 2m *
He's spending Christmas Eve a-lone
4 5 1 * 5 5
First Christmas a-way from home
1 * 5 1
She's standing by the train station, .. pan-handling for change
6m 5 4 1 *
Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room
5 * 6m * 2m
Looks like the Sally Ann place after all, in a crowded sleeping hall
* 5 4 5
That echoes like a tomb_______
1 * 5 *
But it's warm and clean and free, and there are worse places to be
6m 5 4 1 *
At least it means no beating from her Dad
5 * 6m
And if she cries be-cause it's Christmas Day
* 2m *
She hopes that it won't show
4 5 1 *
First Christmas a-way from home
BRIDGE ONE:
5 * 5/4 5 1
..... In the a-partment stands a tree, and it looks so small and bare
4 * * 5 5/4
Not like it was meant to be____, ..... Golden angel on the top
* 6m * 2m
It's not that same old silver star, you wanted for your own
* 4 5 1 *
First Christmas a-way from home (INSTRUMENTAL)
NOTES:
- Rogers: tunes DADGBE, strums B 43 B2 43
FIRST CHRISTMAS PAGE TWO
1 * 5 1
In the morning, they get prayers, then it's crafts and tea down-stairs
6m 5 4 1 *
Then a-nother meal back in his little room
5 * 6m * 2m
Hoping maybe that "the boys" will think to phone be-fore the day is gone
* 5 4 5
Well, it's best they do it soon________
1 * 5 *
When the "old girl" passed a-way, he fell a-part more every day
6m 5 4 1 *
Each had always kept the other pretty well
5 * 6m
But the kids all said the nursing home was best
* 2m *
Cause he couldn't live a-lone
4 5 1 *
First Christmas a-way from home
BRIDGE TWO:
5 * 5/4
In the common room they've got the biggest tree /
5 1
/ And it's huge and cold and lifeless
4 * * 5 5/4
Not like it ought to be____, and the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top
* 6m * *
It's not that same old silver star, you once made for your own
* 4 5 1 *
First Christmas a-way from home
