Chords for Christmas On The Line*Michael Martin Murphey

[F] _ _ It's likely that you can remember a corral at the foot of a hill some morning [Dm] long in [Am] December
When the air was so cold and so still
[Bb] When the frost lay as light [C] as a feather and the stars had just [F] blinked out and gone
_ Remember the creak of the leather as you saddled your horse in the dawn _
that old north wind _ _
Howling high up [Dm] in the timber
[A] _ [Am] The only choir [Bb] that I remember
_ I was riding [F] on the line _ _ _
[C] one [F] long star
[Gm] _ [F] _
Hanging over [D] the [Dm] [A] horizon
[Am] _ Like the one that [Bb] led the wise men _ _ as they followed [F] heaven's sign _ _ _
[Gm] [Dm] Snow [Bb] can't be
_ Peace
Like the angels [Dm] in their glory _ _
Seem to sing the [Bb] ancient _ story
[Gm] _
As the wind blows [C] through the _ _ pines _
[Gm] Drifting [F] _ along
Hear the sound of [Dm] spurs [Am] jingling _ _
Like silver [Bb] bells ringing
_ _ [C] _ _
Christmas [F] on the line _ _
