The Holly and the Ivy
[Verse 1]
D
The holly and the ivy,
Bm A
When they are both full grown,
D Bm
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
G A7 D
The holly bears the crown.
D
The rising of the sun
Bm A
And the running of the deer,
D Bm
The playing of the merry organ,
G A7 D
Sweet singing in the choir.
[Verse 2]
D
The holly bears the blossom,
Bm A
As white as the lily flower,
D Bm
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
G A7 D
To be our sweet Saviour:
D
The rising of the sun
Bm A
And the running of the deer,
D Bm
The playing of the merry organ,
G A7 D
Sweet singing in the choir.
[Verse 3]
D
The holly bears a berry,
Bm A
As red as any blood,
D Bm
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
G A7 D
To do poor sinners good:
D
The rising of the sun
Bm A
And the running of the deer,
D Bm
The playing of the merry organ,
G A7 D
Sweet singing in the choir.
[Verse 4]
D
The holly bears a prickle,
Bm A
As sharp as any thorn,
D Bm
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
G A7 D
On Christmas day in the morn.
D
The rising of the sun
Bm A
And the running of the deer,
D Bm
The playing of the merry organ,
G A7 D
Sweet singing in the choir.
[Verse 5]
D
The holly bears a bark,
Bm A
As bitter as any gall,
D Bm
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
G A7 D
For to redeem us all:
D
The rising of the sun
Bm A
And the running of the deer,
D Bm
The playing of the merry organ,
G A7 D
Sweet singing in the choir.
