Intro: C

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

      Am            Em

All the joy that's made for you

I want to tell you a story about my mother
              F            G             C    C     Am
How she would give up everything for her daughter's drеams

For all the weight she carried, she ain't tired

I spend my whole life trying to be more like her

So on every Christmas Eve

I thank my family tree

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
