The Holly And The Ivy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]All the ivy and the holly,
you know if you've [A]seen them
Of [G]all the trees that [A]grow in the wood,
there's [Bm]no g[A]ood points b[D]etween them
Oh, ivy has a berry as black as any [A]sin
It's [G]not much use in [A]jams
or pies and horrible in gin
Oh, [D]the ivy and the holly,
you'd [G]know if [D]you'd [A]seen it
Of [G]all the trees that [A]grow in the wood,
there's no good points [D]between them
Oh, the holly has a stalk, as [G]green as [D]any [A]veg
If you [G]chop it up in [A]salad,
it will [Bm]set [A]your teeth on [D]edge
Oh, the ivy and the holly,
you'd [G]know if [A]you'd seen them
Of [G]all the trees that [A]grow in the world,
[D]there's no [A]good points [D]between them
[A]Oh, [D]the ivy has a poison,
it [G]makes you [D]itch like [A]hell
If you [G]boil it or it [A]stews,
it will [D]make [A]you sick as [D]well
Oh, the ivy and the holly,
you'd [G]know if [D]you had [A]seen them
Of [G]all the trees grow[A]ing the wood, there's
no good point [D]between them
Oh, the holly has a root,
beneath [G]the [D]earth it [A]rots
And [G]if you soak it [A]slowly,
it will [Bm]bring [A]you out in spots
Oh, the [D]ivy and the holly,
you'd [G]know if [D]you'd [A]seen it
Of [G]all the trees [A]around the world,
there's [D]no [A]good points [D]between [G]us[D][A][D][G][A][D][A]
[D][A][D][G][A][D][A][D][G][D][A][D][A]
[D]
Oh, the ivy has a leaf,
sometimes it's varie[A]gated
Sometimes [D]it's not that goes
[A]to show how [D]things
get com[A]plic[D]ated
Oh, the ivy and the holly,
you'd [G]know if [D]you've [A]seen it
Of [G]all the trees that [A]grow in the world,
there's [D]no [A]good points [D]between them
[A]Oh, the [D]holly has a flower that's
hardly worth a mention
And [G]I don't see why t[A]hese two trees
should get all this atten[D]tion
[A]Oh, the[D] ivy and the holly,
you'd [G]know if [D]you had [A]seen it
Of [G]all the trees that [A]grow in the world, there's
no good points [D]between [A]them[D]
Oh, the ivy and the holly,
when [G]they both [A]fall grown,
The [G]ivy needs the [A]holly,
for it can't stand all [D]alone.
The [G]ivy needs [A]the holly, for it [Bm]can't stand [A]all [D]alone.[A][D][G]
