Verse 1
(D major) Christmas
shoppers shopping (G major) on a neon city street
An (A major) other Christmas dollar for (G major) an
other Christmas (D major) treat
There's satin on the pretty doll (G major)
s that make the children glow
While a (A major) boy walking ragged in
the (G major) cold Kentucky snow (D major)
No, they don't have (G major) Christmas
in Ken (D major) tucky
There's no holly on a West (G major) Virginia door (A major)
For the (D major) trees don't (G major) twinkle
when you're (D major) hungry
And the (G major) Jingle Bells don't (A major) jingle
when you're poor (D major)
There's lots of toys for children (G major) when
then Christmas time is near
But the (A major) present for the miners
is a stocking (G major) full of beer (D major)
In the dark hills of Kentucky there's
one (G major) gift that may be found
The (A major) coal dust of forgotten days
that's (G major) lying on the ground (D major)
No, they don't have (G major) Christmas
(D major) in Kentucky
There's no holly on a (G major) West Virginia door (A major)
For the trees (D major) don't twinkle (G major)
when you're (D major) hungry
And the (G major) Jingle Bells don't (A major) jingle
when you're poor (D major)
Let's drink a toast to Congress
(G major) and a toast to Santa Claus
and a (A major) toast to all the speeches that
(G major) bring the loud ap (D major) plause
There's not enough to give, no,
there's (G major) not enough to share
So let's (A major) drown the sounds of sorrow with
a (G major) hearty Christmas (D major) cheer
No, they don't have (G major) Christmas
(D major) in Kentucky
There's no holly on a West (G major)
Virginia door (A major)
For the trees (D major) don't twinkle (G major)
when you're (D major) hungry
And the (G major) Jingle Bells don't
(A major) jingle when you're poor (D major)
Have a merry, merry Christmas
(G major) and a happy new year's day
For (A major) now's a time of plenty,
and (G major) plenty's here to stay (D major)
But if you knew what Christmas was,
I (G major) think that you would find
That (A major) Christ is spending Christmas
in the (G major) cold Kentucky (D major) mine
No, they don't have (G major) Christmas
in Ken (D major) tucky
There's no holly on a West (G major) Vir (A major) ginia door
For the trees (D major) don't (G major) twinkle
(D major) when you're hungry
And the (G major) Jingle Bells don't
(A major) jingle when you're poor (D major)
