[Verse 1]
           C
There is a box in the attic
   F                 C
We take it down each year
    F            C            G
And pass through generations, lights and souvenirs
          C
From the ones who came before us
    F                C
The reason why we're here
F                 C          G
Singing all these carols and spreading all this cheer


[Pre-Chorus 1]
      Am            Em
Don't forget, never lose
        D                   G
All the joy that's made for you


[Chorus 1]
   F                               C
So come on, girl, let's sit by the fire
          G                         Am
I want to tell you a story about my mother
              F            G             C    C/B   Am
How she would give up everything for her daughter's drеams
        D7                   G
Yeah, a mother's love is еvergreen


[Post-Chorus]
    F                                     C
For all the weight she carried, she ain't tired
           G                            Am
I spend my whole life trying to be more like her
            F         G
So on every Christmas Eve
  C        C/B    Am
I thank my family tree
        D7                    G
Yeah, a mother's love gave us everything
      F   F/E   F/D  F/D  C
Oh, a mother's love is evergreen


[Verse 2]
           C
There were hard times we struggled
      F            C
She'd never let me see
F               C           G
Kept food on the table, and gifts under the tree
         C                      F             C
Now that I'm a little older, it isn't lost on me
    F            C              G
The magic of tradition, and the memories we keep


[Pre-Chorus 2]
           Am                 Em
So don't forget, as time goes on
        D            G
All the joy is never gone


[Chorus 2]
   F                              C
So come on, boy, let's sit by the fire
          G                         Am
I want to tell you a story about my mother
              F       G
How she would give up everything
        C      C/B   Am
For her little boy's dreams
        D7               G
Yeah, a mother's love is evergreen


[Post-Chorus]
    F                                     C
For all the weight she carried, she ain't tired
           G                            Am
I spend my whole life trying to be more like her
      F               G
So on every Christmas Eve

I thank my family tree
