1. There's an old Christmas card in an old dusty trunk,

D D7 G - D

and it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me.

G C G

'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn,

D D7 G - C - G

when I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree.

D D7 G - D - G

I thrill with every word, every line,

A A7 D - A - D

guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time.

G C G

Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer,

D D7 G - C - G

it's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card.

2. (spoken : over the same chords as verse 1)

G C

You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental about this

G D D7

time, every year. But every time I see a Christmas card, I somehow

- G D

can't help reminiscing about the very first Christmas that you and

I spent together.

G

What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that

- C G

year. Why, I know you must have looked through thousands of cards

D D7 G - C - G

to find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes.
