Keep It Evergreen

C


[Verse 1]

G       C                 Am
Crowded streets, it's the season
       Dm                                G
People rushing desperately for the wrong reasons
             C               Am
This time of year voices are singing
          Dm                                   G
But we forget sometimes just why the bells are ringing


[Verse 2]

      Am                  Em
As we walk down memories' halls
           F                              Em
We see the rows of family pictures on the walls
         Asus2            Em
Tell the story, write the song
   F                             G
Of who we are and where we all belong


[Chorus]

            C                  Am
Let this be Christmas like the past
          Dm                G
Give your heart and make it last
         C              Am
Remember always what it means
        Dm                   G
Keep it true and keep it evergreen


[Verse 3]

         C               Am
It's not gifts that we receive
         Dm                             G
It's the time we spend together that we need
        C                   Am
And the presents that we'll be giving
        Dm                             G
Need no paper wrapped in shiny bows of ribbon


[Verse 4]

           Am                        Em
Don't need someone else's verse on paper cards
        F               Em
Just to show me how you feel
         Asus2             Em
It takes more than printed words
   F                                 G
To let someone you love know how you feel


[Chorus]

            C                  Am
Let this be Christmas like the past
          Dm                G
Give your heart and make it last
         C              Am
Remember always what it means
        Dm                   G
Keep it true and keep it evergreen


[Chorus]

            C                  Am
Let this be Christmas like the past
          Dm                G
Give your heart and make it last
         C              Am
Remember always what it means
        Dm                   G
Keep it true and keep it evergreen


[Chorus]

            C                  Am
Let this be Christmas like the past (like the past)
          Dm                         G
Give your heart and soul and make it last
         C              Am
Remember always what it means
        Dm                   G
Keep it true and keep it evergreen


[Chorus]

            C
Let this be Christmas (woah-ooh-oh)
         Am
Like the past (like the past)
          Dm
Give your heart (heart and soul)
            G
And make it last (and make it last)
         C
Remember always (always)
         Am
What it means (oh-ooh-woah)
        Dm                   G           Am
Keep it true and keep it evergreen
