christmas memories alabama

intro C Dm G C

there’s a blanket of snow coverin’ up the old road

to the house where i was raised through the window i see
Dm G C
the lights on the tree and a glow from the old fireplace
Am Em F G
though it all looks the same so much has changed from the way it used to be

christmas memories of happy years gone by
Em F E Am
they come back to me and keep me warm inside
F Am7 Dm G C Dm G C
still those christmas memories make me cry

C Dm G C
now the stockings are filled; the old house is still and the kids are all dreamin’ away
C Dm G C
there’s that old easy chair me and Daddy sat there waitin’ for santa’s sleigh
Am Em F G
now Daddy’s has gone but we’ll carry on ’cause the little ones will need . . .
