Keep It Evergreen

	  		
Intro: C 

verse 1 

G       C                 Am 
Crowded streets, it's the season 
       Dm                                G 
People rushing desperately for the wrong reasons 
             C               Am 
This time of year voices are singing 
          Dm                                   G 
But we forget sometimes just why the bells are ringing 


verse 2 

      Am                  Em 
As we walk down memories' halls 
           F                              Em 
We see the rows of family pictures on the walls 
         Asus2            Em 
Tell the story, write the song 
   F                             G 
Of who we are and where we all belong 

            C                  Am 
Let this be Christmas like the past 
          Dm                G 
Give your heart and make it last 
         C              Am 
Remember always what it means 
        Dm                   G 
Keep it true and keep it evergreen
 

verse 3 

         C               Am 
It's not gifts that we receive 
         Dm                             G 
It's the time we spend together that we need 
        C                   Am 
And the presents that we'll be giving 
        Dm                             G 
Need no paper wrapped in shiny bows of ribbon 


verse 4 

           Am                        Em 
Don't need someone else's verse on paper cards 
        F               Em 
Just to show me how you feel 
         Asus2             Em 
It takes more than printed words 
   F                                 G 
To let someone you love know how you feel 


            C                  Am 
Let this be Christmas like the past 
          Dm                G 
Give your heart and make it last 
         C              Am 
Remember always what it means 
        Dm                   G 
Keep it true and keep it evergreen 


            C                  Am 
Let this be Christmas like the past 
          Dm                G 
Give your heart and make it last 
         C              Am 
Remember always what it means 
        Dm                   G 
Keep it true and keep it evergreen 


            C                  Am

         C              Am 
Remember always what it means 
        Dm                   G 
Keep it true and keep it evergreen 


            C    
Let this be Christmas (woah-ooh-oh) 
         Am 
Like the past (like the past) 
          Dm  
Give your heart (heart and soul) 
            G 
And make it last (and make it last) 
         C   
Remember always (always) 
         Am 
What it means (oh-ooh-woah) 
        Dm                   G           Am 
Keep it true and keep it evergreen
