Family Tree

	  		

C – G/B – Am – G/B 
C – G/B – Em – D 
C – G/B – Am – G/B  
C/A – Bm – C 

     G/D   C       D      Em 
The family car, we barely fit 
G         C        D      Em 
Christmas time had come again 
G       C     D         Em      D 
Bundled up to fight the freeze 
C               D      G 
Picking out the family tree 

     G/D  C        D      Em 
We'd decorate with clumsy hands 
    G        C     D      Em 
In hope that Santa comes again 
     G     C        D       Em   D 
And in the morning, wake to see 
C                 D      G 
Gifts beneath the family tree 

      D           G    G/B  C 
And I don't know where I'm going 
      D       G   G/B  C 
But I do know who I'll be 
          D        G      G/B  C           C/B     Am 
These memories and names, like leaves, all hang on us 
       D   G 
The family tree 

C – G/B – Am – G/B  C/A – Bm – C 

      G/D   C        D        Em 
We're older now, we all have changed 
    G      C            D        Em 
But we all laugh at the same old things 
      G         C          D     Em    D 
We'll spend the night with memories 
C                   D      G 
Gathered 'round the family tree 

      D          G     G/B  C 
And I don't know where I'm going 
      D        G   G/B C 
But I do know who I'll be 
          D        G      G/B  C           C/B     Am 
These memories and names, like leaves, all hang on us 

       C      G/B       Am           G         D     D C/D D 
We're so much more than blood, we're more than names 
      G        G/B        C    C/B    Am 
We're bound by bonds that only God sustains 
         C       G    G Am G/B      C          G 
But this time of year            we all gather here 
      Am       C      D 
And I always know I'm home 

          G/D    C         D       Em 
There are voices now where silence was 
     G      C        D      Em 
The subtle signs of growing up 
      G/D    C     D        Em      D 
Where one is born, another leaves 
C                D     G 
Branches on the family tree 

C – G/B – Am – G/B 
C – G/B – Em – D
