[Verse 1]
Got a birthday [C]card
[G]at [Dm]Christmas... [Asus4]it made me think of Je sus[Em] Christ.[G]
[Asus4]It said, "I love you" in small [G]letter s.[D][Asus4]
I simply had to [Em]read it [G]twice.[Am]
Wood smoke curled from blackened chimneys.
The [Asus4]smell of [Am]frost was in the air.
Pole star hovered in the blackness. I looked again...

[Interlude 1]
it wasn't there.
[Em][D][C][Em][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]People have showered me wi[C]th prese[D]nts. W[Asus4]hile
[Em]their [Asus4]mind s were fixe[D]d on othe[Em]r thin[G]gs.
[D]Sleigh [Dm]bells, bearded red [C]suit[Dm] uncle[Em]s.
[Asus4]Pointy tr[D]ees an[Dm]d angel w[Em]ings.[G][Am]
I am the [C]shadow in your Christ[Am]mas. I am
the [C]corner of your [Am]smile.
Perfunctory [C]in celebra[Am]tion. You offer content [C]but no style.

That little [C]baby Je[D]sus... [Em]he got
[D]a birthday c[Em]ard o[G]r three.
[D]Gold trinkets and cheap [C]frankin[D]cense.[Asus4]
Some penny [D]baubles [Em]for his t[G]ree.[Am]
Have some [C]time off for good [Am]behaviour. Forty [C]days,

Hey there, sweet [C]baby Jesus
