[Verse 1]
People [D]wonder why I don't [A]cry for [D]tomorrow
Had a mother down on [Bm]bended
knees to [D]pray[G]
[D]She would tell me all the good
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

[Verse 3]
[D]back my tea[Bm]rs
[D](hold back)
Hold back my [Am]tears (hold back)
When I [D]think about the [Bm]gifts she gave

If I [D]had [Daug]one wis[F#]h (just one wish)
One [Em]gift [G]to get that day[Asus4]
[Em](Christmas wish)
It would [Asus4]be to kiss m[Bm]y mama
