Chords for Jimmy Lennon - An Old Irish Christmas

[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Now [C] when I was [Am] a lad [F] in my old [G] Irish home [F] I climbed on [G] my [C] granddaddy's knee
And he'd tell me [Am] a story of [F] a child that [G] was born [F] in a stable [G] with great [C] dignity
_ There was no open [Am] doors at [F] the old [G] village inn, just [F] a crib [G] and a bed [C] made of hay
His mother [Am] and Joseph [F] and his animal [G] friends [F] and that was [G] the first [Em] Christmas [C] day _
Christmas [Am] he said [F] is a time of [G] good cheer, [F] for happiness, [G] peace and [C] for prayer
A time of [Am] good wishes, [F] a time of [G] goodwill [F] and a time [G] when the whole world [C] should care
May [F] you sleep [G] a full rest [Em] every night in [Am] your bed, may [F] you smile [G] every day [C] when you rise
[F] May you walk [G] a straight path [Em] every day of [Am] your life [D] and no [G] evil [D] be seen [G] by your eyes
[C] With a tear [Am] in his eyes [F] he cuddled [G] me close [F] and said, Jamie [G] I'll always [C] love you
Here's an old [Am] Irish wish [F] from an old [G] Irish heart [F] and an old [G] Irish Christmas [C] to you _ _

[F] May God [G] bless your family [Em] sitting down [C] at your table, [D] he'll be with you on this Christmas [G] day _
[C] With a tear [Am] in his eyes [F] he [G] cuddled me close [F] and said, Jamie [G] I'll always [C] love [G] you
