The Holly And The Ivy chords

Oh the [C]Holly [G]and the [C]Ivy,
[C]When they were both full [G]grown,
of [C]all the trees that are [F]in the wood,
the [C]Holly [G]bears the [C]crown.

// Chorus //

The [C]rising [G]of the [C]sun,
and the [C]running of the [G]deer,
the [C]playing [C7]of the [F]merry organ,
sweet [C]singing all [G]in the [C]choir.
( [C] [G] [C] )
(Oh sweet signing all in the choir.)

// End of Chorus //

The [C]holly [G]bears the [C]blossom,
As [C]white as the lily [G]flower,
And [C]Mary bore sweet [F]Jesus Christ
To [C]be our [G]sweet [C]Saviour.

// Chorus //

The [C]holly [G]bears a [C]berry,
As [C]red as any [G]blood,
And [C]Mary bore sweet [F]Jesus Christ
To [C]do poor [G]sinners [C]good:

// Chorus //

The [C]holly [G]bears a [C]prickle,
As [C]sharp as any [G]thorn,
And [C]Mary bore sweet [F]Jesus Christ
On [C]Christmas [G]day in the [C]morn.

// Chorus //

The [C]holly [G]bears a [C]bark,
As [C]bitter as any [G]gall,
And [C]Mary bore sweet [F]Jesus Christ
For [C]to [G]redeem us [C]all:

// Final Chorus //

The [C]rising [G]of the [C]sun,
and the [C]running of the [G]deer,
the [C]playing [C7]of the [F]merry organ,
sweet [C]singing all [G]in the [C]choir.
( [C] [G] [C] )
(Oh sweet signing all in the choir.)
