Verse 1
The
Gift (G major) of the
Magi
Once upon a time (D major) in a little town
that was the most
Christmassy town around,
Brother
Jim an (G major) d
Sister
Heather
lived there in a tiny house together.
Jim and
(D major) Heather didn't have any (C major) gold
or coins (G major) or paper money to be told.
But this (D major) was usu (G major) ally not a bother,
because they both had each other.
One
Christmas
Eve, (C major) it snowed an (G major) d snowed.
(A minor) Heather (D major) went down the icy road.
(G major) She wanted to buy
Jim a
Christmas gift. (E minor)
(G major) Over the shops (D major) the snow (G major) did drift.
(E flat major) Heather stared (G minor) in the bright (E flat major) window.
(C major) Holly (G major) and candy (E flat major) canes all in a row.
Beautiful presents were piled up high.
Oh, I've got (A flat major) no money,
she cried.
Heather had an idea, (G major) quick as a (A flat major) flash.
(C major) Back through the snow (G major) she did dash.
Upstairs to her bedroom she ran,
excited about her special (C major) plan.
Inside (G major) the wardrobe (E minor) was her (D major) special (A minor) dress,
(G major) all glittery (A major) blue an (D major) d made to impress.
Covered in ribbons, (E minor) silver and red.
I'll swap (A minor) it for
Jim's gift, (A major) she said. (A minor)
(G major) Heather took her (C major) to the dress
shop and (G major) asked,
Mis (C major) s
Jiggy, can I do a swap?
(G major) Of course (D major) dear, (G major) plump
Miss
Jiggy said.
Choose whatever you'd like instead. (D major)
(F major) Heather saw a beautiful watch chain
that looped around and around (C major) again.
(F major) It was as gold as butterscotch and
(C major) Jim had no chain for (F major) his watch.
Can I have this please?" (C major) she said,
(F major) and swapped the dress for the (D minor) chain instead.
(F major) She knew
Jim's (C major) present was the best. (F major)
What it was, he couldn't have guessed.
(C major) Jim came home later through the snow.
(A minor) At home,
Heather's cheeks (D minor) were all (G major) aglow.
(C major) Jim, I've got you a present! she cried. (A minor)
I've got you one too, (D minor) he replied.
(G major) Have you?
(A flat major) Heather
said (C major) surprised.
This was a
Christmas
Eve to be prized.
Here (G major) it is,
Jim said very excited.
She opened the parcel so delighted.
(D flat major) A huge, shiny blue bow was inside.
Heather stared at it wide -eyed.
(G major) Jim said,
It's for your special (C major) dress, sis.
Gah!
She (D flat major) said,
I didn't expect this.
(D major) Oh, don't you like it?" said poor
Jim.
Then she gave his (G major) present to him.
(D major) He ripped the paper wide (G major) open and
the watch chain (D major) sparkled inside.
Sud (C major) denly,
Jim gave a great guffaw.
Ha!
(A minor) He giggled (D major) loudly at what he (A major) saw.
Dearest (D major) sis,
did you do a swap for this present at
Miss
Jiggy's shop?
Uh, yes, I swapped my dress,
she said.
Jim laughed more and shook his (G major) head.
(C major) I swapped my watch to get your bow.
Now your dress is gone. I didn't (G major) know.
But you swapped your dress for me,
(A major) and I swapped my watch, as you see.
(A minor) It shows how much we care for each other,
(D major) dearest sis, (G major) how we love one another.
