intro: A - E

                    A                           
1. A young gentleman came riding past, 
                E
    on a snow-blue winter's day.
           A
    He asked to drink by our fire
                        E
    and I was pleased to let him stay.
             A
    He drank there quietly for a while,
                         E
    and then he turned and said to me :

                                A                            E
    "Your eyes are green like summer grass,
                          A                             E
    your lips are red, like a fresh cut rose.
                         A                           E
    Your hair is soft, like an Irish stream,
                     A                             E
    and your voice is filled with sweet beauty."

                   D
    And the last words I heard him say
     - - - - - - - - - - -  A            D          E                                     - A
    were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.

                  A                              
2. And the night will come, but I won't sleep,
             E                              
    as I watch the stars that lead him.
        A                              
    I cannot place where he is,
            E
    but still my heart goes with him,
           A                              
    I'm saving all my Sunday clothes
                 E
    for the day that I'll be leaving.





           

       A                         E
    Father knows, my sister knows,
                    A                               E
    and my friends, they're happy for me.
                                  A                                    E
    And the priest he says, you should thank God,
                 A                            E
    for the blessing, of such beauty.

                   D
    And the last words I heard him say
      - - - - - - - - - - - A            D          E                                     - A - D
    were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
                     A            D         E                                    - A
    " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.

    A - E    A - E    A - E      A - E   (...)

                  D
    And the last words I heard him say,
                  F#m             E     - B7                     - E

                     A            D         E                              
    " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.

    I swear, I will return, on Christmas Day.

    Yes, I shall return, on Christmas Day.

    My love, I will return, on Christmas Day.
