She [D9]made up[Bm7-5] each [E7/6] tu - [E7]lip and m[A]um.[Edim] [E7]
As sn[A]owflakes drifted[F#m] into her[C#m7-5] ten - e - ment [F#m]room

In [D9]heav -[Dm6] en - ly[Bm7-5] gar -[E7/6] dens [E7]and b[A]owers.[Edim] [E7]
And i[A]nstead of a h[F#m]alo she'll wear [C#m7-5]'round her [F#m]head

A gar - land of gen - u - ine flow - ers.
