TENNESSEE CHRISTMAS


Come on, weatherman, [G Em]
give us a forecast snowy white [F D]
Can't you hear the prayers [G Em]
of every childlike heart tonight [F D]
Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin' [C G]
Somebody said it's four feet deep [D G]
But it doesn't matter, give me the laughter [C G]
I'm gonna choose to keep... [D D7]

Another tender Tennessee Christmas [G C]
The only Christmas for me [D G]
Where the love circles around us [Em Am7]
Like the gifts around our tree [C D]
Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado [G Bm]
Than my roof will ever see [Dm7 C]
But a tender Tennessee Christmas [C D G]
is the only Christmas for me. [C D G]

Every now and then I get a wandering urge to see [G Em F D]
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me [G Em F D]
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there [C G]
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve [D G]
Sure sounds inviting, awfully exciting [C G]
Still I think I'm gonna keep... [D D7]

Another tender Tennessee Christmas [G C]
The only Christmas for me [D G]
Where the love circles around us [Em Am7]
Like the gifts around our tree [C D]
Well, they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday [G Bm]
It's the only place to be [Dm7 C]
But a tender Tennessee Christmas [C D G]
is the only Christmas for me. [C D G]
