Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) The mistletoe
(C major) hung in the old castle (G major) hall
The (C major) holly brunch (D major) stood on the old oak wall
(G major) And the baron's retainers
were (C major) blithe and gay
(G major) Keeping (C major) their (D major) Christmas holiday
(G major) And the baron (D major) beheld
with a (G major) father's pride
His (C major) beautiful (D major) child, young Lovell's bride
And (G major) she, with her (D major) bright eyes,
(G major) seemed to be
The (C major) pride of the (D major) goodly company
(G major) Oh, (D major) the mistletoe (G major) bough
Oh, (C major) the (D major) mistletoe bough (G major)
I'm weary of (C major) dancing
now, she (G major) cried
(C major) Here, tarry a (D major) mo ment,
I'll hide, I'll (G major) hide
But love will be sure that
the (C major) first to (G major) trace
(C major) The clue to my (D major) secret hiding place
(G major) Then away (D major) she ran
and her friend (G major) s began
Each (C major) tower to (D major) search, each nook to scan
(G major) An d (D major) lovel, he cried,
where (G major) dost thou hide?
(C major) I'm lonely without you,
(D major) my own dear bride (G major)
(D major) Oh, (G major) (D major) the mistletoe bow
(G major) Oh, (C major) the (D major) mistletoe bow
(G major) They searched that night,
(C major) they searched the next day
(G major) They (C major) searched all (D major) around
till the week went (G major) away
In the highest, the lowest,
(C major) the lonesomest spot
(G major) Young (C major) Lovell sought (D major) wildly
but found her (G major) not
And the years went (D major) by
and their grief (G major) at last
(C major) Was told as a sorrowful (D major) tale long pas (G major) t
And when Lov (D major) ell appeared
all the chil (G major) dren cried
See (C major) the old man weep (D major) for his fairy bride (G major)
(D major) O 'er the mistletoe bow,
(G major) O (C major) 'er the (D major) mistletoe (G major) bow
(D major) At length an (G major) old chest
that had (C major) long lain hid
(G major) Was (C major) found in (D major) the attic, they raised the lid
(G major) A skeleton form lay (C major) mouldering (G major) there
In (C major) the bridal (D major) wreath of a lady so fair
(G major) Oh, sad (D major) was her fate in (G major) sport and jest
(C major) She hid from (D major) her love in an old oak chest
(G major) It (E minor) closed with (D major) the spring
and the (G major) bridal bloom
Lay (C major) withering (D major) there in a living tomb (G major) (D major)
(G major) Oh, the (D major) mistletoe bound
(G major) Oh, (C major) (D major) the mistletoe bound
