KEY of B: capo 4, play in G
3G 4D G
G
There's a wondrous sight and a joyful sound
D
Every Christmas Eve in a western town
G
Gather up the kids, all the friends and family
G
Cause the holly's hung and the candles bright
D
They're tuning up the fiddles on a moonlit night
G
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
G
There's a jolly man in a bright red suit
D
Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots
G
Whirling 'cross the floor spurs a jingling merrily
G
When they sing those carols soft and low
D
Well I'll be shouting out Cotton Eye Joe
G
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
C G D G
Wait beneath the misletoe you'll never get a kiss
B7 Em A D
I never move that slow there's too much I could miss
G
'Cause a western girl can't be still
D
And a Silent Night is not for me
G
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
3G 4D G
G
Red bandana, chili green
D
Silver buckles on new blue jeans
G
Shuffling 'round the room to a Yuletide melody
G
Well I'm gonna be ready when Santa comes
D
But I'm gonna be dancing till he does
G
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
C G D G
Wait beneath the misletoe you'll never get a kiss
B7 Em A D
I never move that slow there's too much I could miss
G
'Cause a western girl can't be still
D
And a Silent Night is not for me
G
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
G
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
