Chords for Christmas Carol

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] Like a fixture down on Main [E] Street, she stood there all [B] year long
With a tin cup and a tambourine, singing [F#] Christmas songs
[B] Folks thought she was [F#] crazy, but they [E] loved to hear her [B] sing
Drop some money in her cup, and shake that [B] tambourine
_ And [E] they called her [B] Christmas Carol
_ There's not a Christmas song she [F#] couldn't sing
_ [E] I remember Christmas [B] Carol
_ With her snow white hair [F#] and her beat up [B] tambourine
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
She wore that same old ragged [F] coat all the [C] year around
Lived all alone in a little shack just outside of [G] town
[C] She'd stand there singing jingle bells [F] in the heat of the [C] summertime
Yes, every day was Christmas in Carol Johnson's mind
_ And they [F] called her Christmas Carol
There's not a Christmas song [G] she couldn't sing
_ I [F] remember _ [C] Christmas Carol
With her snow white hair [G] and her beat up [C] tambourine
_ _ But I can still remember [F] that twinkle [C] in her eye
Those Carol Pips secret from the people passing by
That secret father mystery [F] they'd talked about [C] so long
How each Christmas Eve those gifts showed [G] up outside the [C] children's home _ _
[C#] That was forty years [F#] ago, or fifty I [C#] believe
But still the toys keep showing up each year [G#] on Christmas Eve
[C#] I wonder if we'll ever [F#] know just who took up the cause
Is it still Christmas Carol [G#] or is it Santa [C#] Claus?
_ And [F#] they called her Christmas [C#] Carol
There's not a Christmas song she [G#] couldn't sing
_ I [F#] remember _ [C#] Christmas Carol
_ With her snow white [G#] hair and her beat up [C#] tambourine
And [F#] they called her [C#] Christmas Carol
_ There's not a Christmas song she [G#] couldn't sing
_ [F#] I remember _ [C#] Christmas Carol
With her snow white [G#] hair and her beat up [C#] tambourine
