[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C C7 Dm Dm7
Sittin’ in the bunkhouse feelin’ sorry for myself
F D7 G G7
Christmas Eve can be a lonely time
F G7
I started thinkin’ about Jim’s widowed wife
Em A7
And those kids without their dad tonight
D7 G7 G7 C C
He worked this ranch was a real good friend of mine
[Verse 2]
C C7 Dm Dm7
Three weeks growth on my jaw an old red faded mackinaw
F D7 G G7
I hitched a team and I went to cut a tree
F G
I don’t know if it was all the snow
Am F
Or because I had a place to go
D G C C7
I started feelin’ kinda Christmas Eve
[Chorus]
F
Grabbed some can goods from the store
Em
Left an IOU on Cookies door
F G Am C7
Unwrapped the lines and I drove the team away
F G
The harness bells rang out for miles
Am F
They ran out on their porch all smiles
Dm G C C
Said I looked like Santa on his sleigh
[Verse 3]
C Dm
We read the Christmas story from the bible and we sang
F D7 G G7
The kids took turns sittin’ on my knee
F G
We made paper chains and popcorn strings
Am F
Heard the coyotes caroling
Dm G C C7
While mom crocheted a star to top the tree
[Chorus]
F Em
For the little girl a rope knot doll I fashioned on the fly
F G Am C7
My pocket knife I wrapped up for the boy
F G
I gave their mom a Christmas poem
Am F
And they gave me a Christmas horn
Dm G C G7
That filled this cowboy’s empty heart with joy
