By The Christmas Tree

well i kissed genevieve on christmas eve
       Am                    G
in my father's house, by the christmas tree
        C                   F
and the fire burns, when the windows freeze
        Am                     G
but the warmth i felt with her next to me
       F            G
oh, my genevieve

         C                    F
she'll leave one day but the snow will stay
                 Am               G
when all that's left of love's in picture frames
         F                       Fm
and i'll hear her name and still feel the same

         C           F
i kissed genevieve on christmas eve
       Am                    G
in my father's house, by the christmas tree
           C                 F
and i'd do anything just to hear her sing
        Am                    G
how the notes ring out like a symphony
        F                     Fm
well my heart still dreams of genevieve

          C                   F
with each christmas light and mistletoe
       Am               G
how my love for genevieve will grow
      C                  F
every card i write, every kiss goodnight
      Am             G
every lullaby, every time she cries
          F          Fm
she'll be on my mind
         C             F
i kissed genevieve on christmas eve
      Am                     G
in my father's house, by the christmas tree
