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
