^C#mAnd all of the ^Byellow ^Amelancho^C#mly The world ^Babout grew ^Astark The ^C#monly ^Bsound in ^Aall of the ^C#mplace B A (A-B-A) Was the singing of a lark

Chorus:

It sang ^C#mHolly go ^Blightly ^Abright as the ^Eday ^C#mFresh as the ^Bmoon and ^Astale as the hay ^C#mCold as the ^Bwindow ^Afrozen with ^Efrost C#m B A (A-B-A) You never been seen and you never been lost

^EI saw her ^F#monce and she ^Acame upon the ^Emidday And gave me ^F#mboth her ^Ahands ^EIt seemed while ^F#mI was still ^Adreaming of the ^Ewaves That she lived a ^F#mwhile on ^Aland

^BSlipping through a ^Astream of dark The ^Estreets laid out a ^Bway ^BStayed above the ^Alevel Kept my ^Ewandering heart at ^Bbay
