[Verse 1]
People [D]wonder why I don't [A]cry for [D]tomorrow
Had a mother down on [Bm]bended

news to cleanse all my sor[Em]row
[D]I sing about that good
[E]news on Christ[D]mas day

[Verse 2]
We would [D]all hold hands
around the dinner table
She made [A]turkey, [F#m]greens, corn[Bm]bread,
and candied [Em]yams[Asus4][A][D]
We would pray then [G]give
food [Abdim]away
That's the [Bm]kind of thing you do
on [A]Christmas [F]day[G]
[Em]Hold

One [Em]gift [G]to get that day[Asus4]
