[C] Christmas time [F] in Ireland, [A] in the days when I [G] was young,
When we gathered round the pyre, [Dm] and the [Em] old songs they [C] were sung,
To hear my dear [F] old mother tell [Am] of [A] five long days [G] of yore,
And the [Dm] way that she [G] spent Christmas in dear old [C] Annamarie.
Oh, Christmas time [F] was different in the days of
[C] yesteryear,
[G] With candles in the windows, [Dm] the [G] bells rang [C] loud and clear,
All the [F] family gathered, they came from [C] far and wide,
[G] So we'd be all together [F] for this [G] joyous [C] Christmas time.
All around [F] the pictures read the [C] berries bright,
[G] [F]
[G] Decorations flutter [Dm] and [G] make a pretty [C] sight.
Peeping through [F] the windows, the world is [C] white with snow,
[G] The friendly [F]
[G] birds are calling, [Dm] and the [G] wiggins they [C] fly low.
Christmas time [F] in Ireland, [C] in the days [A] when I was [G] young,
When we [F] gathered [G]
round the pyre, and the old songs [C] they were sung,
To hear my [F] dear old mother tell [Am] of five [C] long [G] days of yore,
And the [Dm] way that she [G] spent Christmas in dear old [C] Annamarie.
[Ab] [Db] It's well I [Gb] do remember the nights of [Db] Christmas Eve,
[Ab] As we watched the bright stars in the [Gb] skies, my [Ebm] stocking [Db] I would leave.
Hanging [Gb] from the bedstead, my heart is [Db] full of glee,
[Ab] Hoping that dear Santa [Ebm] Claus would [Db] please remember me.
And then on [Gb] Christmas morning, at dinner [Db] time drew near,
[Abm] With the [Gb] smell of [Ab] turkey cooking, or [Ebm] the cotton [Ab]
[Db] cake and beer.
Oh, [G] happy, [Gb] happy Christmas, let us [Db] be all glad,
[C] That we have [Ab] cherished memories [Ebm] of the [Fm] Christmases [Db] we've had.
Christmas [Gb] time in Ireland, [Bbm] in the days [Eb] when I was [Ab] young,
