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