Green Grows The Holly

[verse]
Am    F         Am
Green grows the holly
    Am F        Am
And so does the ivy
Am         F            C
Though the winter winds blow
         D
Never so high

G     D         G
Green grows the holly
Am  F       Am
Gay are the flowers
Am        F       Am
Hedgerows and the ploughhands
    F         C
The days grow long
              D
Longer in the sun
   G    D        G
So soft fall the showers
F  C  F  C  F  C  F  C
mmmmm [instumental]

[verse]
Am   F        Am
Full gold the harvest
    Am    F        Am
And grain for your labor
     F        C
With God must work
          D
For daily bread

        G   D    G
Or else man will starve
Am   F        Am
Fast fall the shed leaves
Am     F   Am
Russet and yellow
    F       C
But resting buds
             D
Are smug and safe
      G   D       G            F  C  F  C
Where swu-ung the dead leaves
          F           C  F  C  F  C  F  C
Swung the dead leaves

Green grows the holly
   Am  F        Am
And so does the ivy
    F      C              D
The God of life can never die
    G    D        G
And hope says the holly
