Girl Named Tom - Isn’t That What Christmas Is For

Capo: 6th fret

[Intro]
D/F# G Bm A

[Verse 1]
D/F# G Em A
It’s easy to wish for snow when you got someone to hold
D/F# G Em A
It’s easy to love the cold when you got somewhere to go
D/F# G Em A
It’s a roll of the dice where you’re born, where you’re from, where you call home
D/F# G Em A
and no one can say where the wind will blow

[Chorus]
G A D/F# Bm
So I’ll ask for a little less and give a little more
G A D/F# Bm A
Count up my blessings and open my door
G A F#m Bm A Em D/F# G
To lonely souls on broken roads, to hearts that have been torn (walk up)
A
Isn’t that what Christmas is for?

D/F# G Bm A

[Verse 2]
D G Em A
When I was a kid I’d write up a list underneath the tree
D N.C. Em A
Wishing for things I want, when some were wishing for things they need
D G Em A
Mama took me by the hand and said “Child, on Christmas Eve—
D/F# G Em A
It’s all about what you give and not what you receive”

[Chorus 2]
G A D/F# Bm
So I’ll ask for a little less and give a little more
G A D/F# Bm A
Count up my blessings and open my door
G A F#m Bm A Em D/F# G
To lonely souls on broken roads, to hearts that have been torn (walk up)
A Em
Isn’t that what Christmas is for?
