Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E

This is the chord progression for Cherry Tree Carol by Judy Collins, great song to sing around Christmas. I couldn't find any other chords on here that appeared to be correct so I've done it myself Capo is on the 5th fret and I think it sounds nice if you're playing it alone to keep your ring and pinkie fingers on the E and B string, third fret at all times! Hope you enjoy, Merry Christmas!

^GJoseph was an ^Cold man, an ^Gold man was ^Che, When he ^Emwedded Virgin ^CMary, in the ^Dland of ^EmGalilee, When he ^Emwedded virgin ^CMary, in the ^Dland of ^GGalilee.

^GJoseph and ^CMary walked ^Gthrough an orchard ^Cgreen, There were ^Emberries and ^Ccherries as ^Dthick as might be ^Emseen, There were ^Emberries and ^Ccherries as ^Dthick as might be ^Gseen.

^GOh then bespoke ^CMary with ^Gwords meek and ^Cmild, ^EmPluck me one cherry ^CJoseph, for ^DI am with ^Emchild, Pluck ^Emme one cherry ^CJoseph, for ^DI am with ^Emchild.

^EmOh then bespoke ^DJoseph with ^Canswer most ^Dunkind, Let him ^Empluck thee a ^Dcherry, that ^Cbrought thee with ^Emchild, Let him ^Empluck thee a ^Ccherry, that ^Dbrought thee with ^Emchild.

^GOh then bespoke the ^Cbaby wit^Ghin his mothers ^Cwomb, Bow ^Emdown the tallest ^Ctree, that my ^Dmother may have ^Emsome, Bow ^Emdown then the tallest ^Ctree, for my ^Dmother to have ^Gsome.

^GThen bow down the tallest ^Ctree, un^Gto his mothers ^Chand, She ^Emcried; ‘see ^CJoseph, I have ^Dcherries at ^Emcommand,’ Then she ^Emcried; ‘see ^CJoseph, I have ^Dcherries at ^Gcommand.’

^GThen Mary plucked a ^Ccherry, as ^Gred as any ^Cblood, Then ^EmMary, she went ^Cover all ^Dwith her heavy ^Emload, Then ^EmMary went ^Cover all ^Dwith her heavy ^Gload.

^GAs Joseph was a-^Cwalking he ^Gheard an angel ^Csing, ^EmThis night shall be ^Cborn, on ^Dearth our heavenly ^Emking, ^EmThis night there shall be ^Cborn, on ^Dearth our heavenly ^Gking.

Then ^GMary took her ^Cyoung son and ^Gset him on her ^Cknee, Saying, “^Emdearest son ^Ctell me just ^Dhow this world shall ^Embe,” Saying, “^Emdearest son ^Ctell me just ^Dhow this world shall ^Embe.”

“Oh ^EmI shall be as ^Ddead mother as the ^Cstones are in the ^Dwall,” “Oh the ^Emstones in the ^Dstreet mother shall ^Csorrow for me ^Emall,” “Oh the ^Emstones in the ^Cstreet mother shall ^Dsorrow for me ^Emall.”

“On ^Emeaster day dear ^Dmother my ^Crising up shall ^Dbe,” “Oh the ^Emsun and the ^Dmoon mother, shall ^Cboth arise with ^Emme,” “Oh the ^Emsun and the ^Cmoon mother, shall ^Dboth arise with ^Gme.”
