Traditional - An Old Christmas Card 
 
Intro - G - D - D7 - G - C - G 
 
(verse 1) 
 
            G                        C          G 
There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk 
         D                D7              G - D 
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me 
            G                       C              G 
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn 
         D                  D7               G - C - G  
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree 
    D                D7          G - D - G 
I thrill with every word, every line 
           A            A7                D - A - D 
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time 
       G                    C                  G    
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer 
          D            D7            G - C - G 
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card 
SPOKEN: 
You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental about this  
time, every year. But every time I see a Christmas card, I somehow  
can't help reminiscing. About the very first Christmas that you and  
I spent together. What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that  
year. Why, I know you must have looked through thousands of cards  
to find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes 
    D                D7          G - D - G 
I thrill with every word, every line 
           A            A7                D - A - D 
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time 
       G                    C                  G    
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer 
          D            D7            G - C - G 
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card
