Who does the best that he can but
         C           G          C
Don't forget all the horses and toys
F           C       G                      F
Never could fix the poor little rich boys

F          C          G      C          F
Sweats and toils just like a slave but

Don't forget all the diamonds and pearls
F           C       G                      F
Never could fix the poor little rich girls

        C       G     C      F
You can measure it in blood
        C       G     C    F
You can measure it in mud
       C        G            C     F
Let us say, for these twelve days
        C     G    C
Put the measuring away

'Cause it's Christmas
      G                    C
And a spotlight shining on Christmas
      G                    F

Don't forget Jesus, Mary and Joseph
F           C       G                           F
Once were a family, poor but rich in hope, yeah

A mensch, a virgin and a god but

         C             G          C
Don't forget that what kept them afloat
F                    C      G                   F
Floating through the desert doesn't take a boat
         C             G          C
Don't forget that what kept them above
F     C   G      C        F
