3/4 time
[Intro]
C G C C
[Verse 1]
C G C C
When the snows of December are falling
F G C C
when Christmas carols get spilled
Am Em F F
I saddle up my pony
Dm Dm G G
ride to the schedu – el
[Verse 2]
C G C C
Just the sound of the creaking old saddle
F G C C
and a lonesome old coyote wails
Am Em F F
that’s all the song that I am needing
C G C C
Christmas on the trail
[Chorus]
F G C C
That’s where I find the true meaning
F G C C
of the babe and the three wise men
Am Em F F
that’s wherer I can see the star shining
Dm Dm G G
let them to Bethlehem
[Verse 3]
C G C C
Than at night by the glittering campfire
F G C C
the wind in the trees still tell
Am Em F F
Mary with child on a journey
C G C C
Christmas on the trail
[Interlude]
C G C C
F G C C
Am Em F F
C G C C
[Chorus]
F G C C
That’s where I find the true meaning
F G C C
of the babe and the three wise men
Am Em F F
that’s wherer I can see the star shining
Dm Dm G G
let them to Bethlehem
[Verse 4]
C G C C
Than at night by the glittering campfire
F G C C
the wind in the trees still tell
Am Em F F
Mary with child on a journey
C G C C
Christmas on the trail
