F                           Bb 
And I can never understand why

Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams

But every Christmas morning I cry 


F 
My brother got the train that he asked for 

                     Bb 
My sister even got a violin 

Bb 
How does he miss 

F 
The one thing on my list 

G                             F 
In the letter that I sent to him 

F 
I told him how hard I would practice 

F                         Bb 
Told him I would play so loud 

Bb 
That high lonesome sound 

        F 
Would fill up the town 

C                          F 
And I’d make my parents so proud

But every Christmas morning I cry 


F Bb F C F 


F 
I ask my parents if they know why 

F                      Bb 
Santa always leaves me sad 

Bb 
I do well in school 

F 
I follow the rules 

C                            F 
And I don’t think I’ve been bad 


F 
Maybe it’s too much for the workshop 

F                               Bb 
Maybe it’s too tricky for the elves 

Bb 
Since I’ll never understand 

F 
I think I’m gonna plan 

C                F 
To buy one for myself 


F         
Santa never brings me a banjo 

F                           Bb 
And I can never understand why

Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams

But every Christmas morning I cry 

F         
Santa never brings me a banjo 

F                           Bb 
And I can never understand why 

Bb                  F  
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams 

C                           F 
But every Christmas morning I cry

But every Christmas morning I cry
