Intro: Dm 

verse 1 
                             A7      Dm 
I woke this morn and there beside my bed 
                                     A7      Dm 
Lay two stockings, one was green and one was red 

Should I put them on my feet? 
              A7    Dm 
Or match them on my head? 


verse 2 
  G          C            G         D 
I think I'll wear my port starboard socks 
        G        C      G 
They'll bring me luck tonight 
              C      G    D 
The red one's on the left foot 
                           G 
And the green one's on the right 


verse 3 
          C            G         D 
I love to wear my port starboard socks 
     G        C      G 
They chase my blues away 
          C             G         D 
And when I wear my port starboard socks 
                     G 
It's Christmas every day 

                     A7 
Stop and go, hot and cold 
    D 
The ember and the envy 
G                          A7 
Red and green, a Christmas scene 
    D                  G 
The holly and the ivy 

verse 4 
             C          G         D 
I think I'll weave port starboard socks 
    G     C       G 
For Santa and his reindeer 
             C        G         D 
I'll find a great big cardboard box 
                      G 
And fill it with good cheer 

Verse 5 
            C       G      D 
A streak of red and one of green 
     G        C         G 
Like ribbons, wound and curled 
             C         G         D 
We'll make a great big Christmas wreath 
                           G 
That goes around the whole world 

                     A7 
Stop and go, hot and cold 
    D 
The ember and the envy 
G                          A7 
Red and green, a Christmas scene 
    D                    Dm 
The holly and the ivy 

Verse 6 
                             A7      Dm 
I woke this morn and there beside my bed 
                                     A7      Dm 
Lay two stockings, one was green and one was red 

Should I put them on my feet? 
              A7    Dm 
Or match them on my head?
