Katey's Christmas Card
Recorded by John Schneider

(Capo on 3)

Intro.:  (D) x 2 bars

The (D)whole town was (G/D)closing down (D)early
For another (G/D)Christmas (D)Eve
The (A)bright colored lights in the neighbor's front window
Were bringing back (G)warm memo-(D)ries

He (D)thought of his (G/D)wife and little (D) Katey
In the house on the (G/D)far side of (D)town
As he (A)got to the door, he opened his mailbox
And read the (G)one card he (D) found

(Chorus)
It said, there's (Bm)no place like home for (D)Christmas
There's (Bm)no better feeling I (D)know
With (Bm)presents 'round the (D/A)tree and (E/G#)your whole fami-(E)ly
And (G)Christmas won't be (A)Christmas, if (G)you're not (A)common' (D)home

(D)Katey ran (G/D)up to her (D)momma
Who was sittin' all a-(G/D)lone and feel-(D)ing sad
And (A)said "Here's a card the mailman just brought you
I wonder, (G) could it be from (D)dad?"

(Chorus)
It read, (Bm)no place like home for (D)Christmas
There's (Bm)no better feeling I (D)know
With (Bm)presents 'round the (D/A)tree and (E/G#)your whole fami-(E)ly
And (G)Christmas won't be (A)Christmas, if (G)I'm not (A)common' (D)home

All it (E)took was one (A)kiss in the (E)doorway
They could feel that old (A)feeling a-(E)gain
The (B)look in their eyes, so loving and tender
Was just like it was (A)back (E)then

(E)Katey (A)watched them to-(E)gether
And she brushed a (A)tear drop a-(E)way
And (B)smiled as she thought of those two Christmas cards
She mailed just (A)yester-(E)day

(Chorus)
She cried, there's (C#m)no place like home for (E)Christmas
There's (C#m)no better feeling I (E)know
With (C#m)presents 'round the (B)tree and (F#)your whole family
Now this (A)Christmas can be (B)Christmas, 'cause (A)every-(B)body's (E)home
