One Christmas Tree

E F#m A E


[Verse 1]
C#m              E                                B
   The season is on us when all our dreams come true
               A                              E
   And for a while the spirit of giving is renewed
C#m             E                             B
   And children wonder about the truth of things
              A                                E
   That they say at church or hear the angels sing
C#m              E                               B
   Our kids have two trees, one at each of our homes
                  A                                    E
   Yours with antique balls and mine with dime store globes
C#m                 E                           B
   Their Christmas wish is as simple as it's clear
              A                            E
   Let their parents pride and anger disappear


[Chorus]
   E                         B
   So this year at Yuletide,   here's how we'll do it
 E               A                E
   We'll put up one Christmas tree
   E                      B
   Then gather 'round it,   sing hallelujah
 A                N.C.                  E
   Peace on earth      and to our family

[Verse 2]
C#m                      E                       B
   The kids swear they remember loving years before
              A                                    E
   When they heard the neighbors caroling at our door
C#m             E                                B
   And mom and dad were both snuggled in one chair
              A                        E
   Watching wrapping paper flying everywhere


[Chorus]
   E                         B
   So this year at Yuletide,   here's how we'll do it
 E               A               E
   We'll put up one Christmas tree
   E                      B
   Then gather 'round it,   sing hallelujah
 A                N.C.                  E
   Peace on earth      and to our family
 A                  E
   And to our family
F#m              A             E
   Peace on earth to our family
F#m              A                 E
   Peace on earth and to our family
