Brandon Davis - Family Tree

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
G

[Verse]
G
Mama taught me early on when Christmas came around

How to decorate the family tree and what it was really all about
Cadd9 G
It was lots of love, the Lord and family
Am7 G Cadd9
Said if you wanna know what Christmas means to me

[Chorus]
G G D
It’s those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to ’93
Em7 Cadd9 D
And once a year we’d pull ’em out watching Macy’s playing on TV

Em7 Cadd9
And we’d dress it up with lights and life’s long memories
D G Cadd9 D
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
Em D Cadd9
And we’d thank Him for the years before and a couple more

G Cadd9 G
Around the family tree

[Verse]
G
Last night I sat on the floor, just me and the kids

Staring at the times we had and all of the things we did
Cadd9 G
Scattered ’round the branches of that tree

Am7 G Cadd9
And then I told them what my mama said to me

[Chorus]
G G D
And ’bout those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to ’93
Em7 Cadd9 D
And once a year we’d pull ’em out watching Macy’s playing on TV

Em Cadd9
And we’d dress it up with lights and life’s long memories
D G Cadd9 D
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
Em D Cadd9
And we’d thank Him for the years before and a couple more

G D Em7 D Cadd9
Around the family treeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Break]
D Cadd9
Yeah, if the good Lord called and granted me one wish
D Cadd9
It’d be to let ’em see the day my great-great-grandkids

[Chorus]
G Cadd9 G D
Find those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to ’93
Em Cadd9 D
And once a year we’d pull ’em out watching Macy’s playing on TV

Em Cadd9
And we’d dress it up with lights and life’s long memories
D G Cadd9 G D
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
Em D Cadd9
And we’d thank Him for the years before and a couple more

G G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Around the family tree
