Intro: EmGDAmC x2
Em
There's snow on your collar, boy
G
There's snow on the bench
D
There's snow on the sleeping grave
Am
And the crooked fence
C
And if you've been crying
C(with pinky)
With my hand on my chest
I swear I'll never tell
Em
The town is aglow with lights
G
The carolers sing
D
You sister won't sleep tonight
Am
For the morning brings
C
That old happy Christmas
C(with pinky)
You came here to find it
I did as well
EmG
For joy doesn't come in boxes
DAm
Nor peace in a heavy watch
CEmGD
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
AmGD
But the search it never stops
The son of a holy man
You dream of the saints
So thin with your poet hands
And your eyes of flame
And I'd like to kiss you
Full on the mouth
I don't care if you tell
For love doesn't come in boxes
Nor truth in a crowded shop
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
But the search it never stops
EmGD
Ohhh, ooohh, oooh,
Am
dum dum dum da da da,
C
dum dum da da da
C(with pinky)
Uhuh aaaaaah
For faith doesn't come in boxes
Nor God in your silver cross
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
But the search goes on and on
EmGD
The search it never stops
