Gift Of The Magi by Squirrel Nut Zippers




         Gift Of The Magi






Sung as a duet.

Him:
E           B               E
My heart is sad, my soul is weary
E                B             E
Though Christmas day is fast appear
          A                 E
I have no silver I have no gold
E                 B           E
To buy my wife a gift this year
E          B                  E
To see her sad on Christmas morning
E     B             E
Is a thing I cannot bear
              A                E
I'll pawn the watch my father gave me
E             B       E
To buy a comb for her hair

Her:
E          B                   E
Oh Mother, Mother what shall I do?
E                B            E
Though Christmas day is fast appear
           A               E
I have no silver I have no gold
E         B                E
To buy my love a gift this year
E        B               E
For I am poor and I'm a beggar
E               B             E
Not a cent have I, no dime I claim
               A                        E
I'll trade the golden hair that is our pleasure
E                     B     E
Buy for your watch a golden chain

Him:
E        B                   E
Darling, darling today is Christmas
E           B                  E
What has become of your golden hair
          A                E
For I've traded our only treasure
E                       B     E
These silver combs for you to wear

Her:
E        B                        E
Darling, darling we've lost our treasure
E          B                E
My gift to you is a golden chain
             A                     E
Though we've pawned away our only pleasures
E                       B      E
These gifts we give are not in vain


Like verse:
E      B       E
E      B       E
       A       E
E            B E

Both:
E            B                 E
The wise men came on Christmas morning
E              B                 E
Their gifts of love they came to bear
              A            E
From that day on always remembered
E                  B       E
Our own true love forever share
