• Song:

    Did I Make You Cry On Christmas Day

  • Artist:

    Sufjan Stevens

I couldn't find the chords for this song anywhere so I did it by ear. Its not 
exactly how Sufjan plays it because he plays it on a banjo, but it works if you 
just want to sing along to it. It's very simple.

Standard Tuning


Bm                          G
This time of year you always disappear
D
You tell me not to call
A
You tell me not to call
Bm                                               G 
And when the door is closed you're wearing different clothes
D                                        A
Or hiding in the paper, pretending not to hear

Bm
Inexpensive wine
G
I buy it all the time
D
You tell me take it back
A
You say you'll take a nap
Bm
But I can see it now
G
You always tell me how
D 
I could do so much better
A 
You said it in your letter

D               A              G
Did I make  you cry
On Christmas day?
D           A                 G
Did I let  you down 
Like every other day?
D               A             G
Did I make  you cry
On Christmas day?
D            A                G
Did I let  you down
On Christmas day?

Bm                                    
The bed that isn't made
G                                              
The broken window shade
D
The radiator's on
A
I loved you along
Bm
But I can see it now
G
You always tell me how
D
I could do so much better
A
You said it in your letter

Bm
I stay awake at night
G
After we have a fight
D
I'm writing poems about you
A
And they aren't very nice
Bm
I didn't mean to yell
G
I said I couldn't tell
D
I only grabbed your wrist
A
Or would you rather we kissed?

D                A             G
Did I make  you cry 
On Christmas day?
D                A            G
Did I make  you cry
Like every other day?
D                A             G
Did I make  you cry
On Christmas day?
D                A             G
Did I make  you cry?
