Intro: G C G  

Verse:1  
N.C.                       G  
Would you do something for me  
G  
It's a lot to ask I know   
                       C  
But I here your headed north   
C                        G  
It can't hurt to ask and so  
G  
Would take this silver bell  
                      C  
Hang it on the little tree  
C                 Am  
Behind my momma's house  
D                     G  
Ah It'd mean a lot to me  

Verse: 2  
N.C.                  G  
A cowgirl in South Texas  
G  
In the cold November wind  
                    C  
With too many miles behind  
C                          G  
And a dream that's getting thin  
G  
I won't make it home this year  
                  C  
Alberta's just to far away  
C                     Am  
Say hi to all the old gang  
D               G  
Tell my mum I'm ok  

 
N.C.                     G  
I won't make it home for Christmas  
G                   C  
My silver bell will ring for me  
C              Am  
High up on the hillside  
Am                          D  
Bless that little Christmas tree  
D                           C    D  
For It's the giving not the taking___  
D                Bm  
Though were far apart  
C  
It's the best that I can bring  
C                   Am  
My little bell will ring  
Am           D                 G  
With all the love that's in my heart   


Verse:3  
N.C.                       G  
Pulled out of the fairground  
G  
She was riding all alone  
G                      C  
Put my truck up on the highway  
C                     G  
Headed north to San Antone  
G  
And her words stayed in my heart  
                   C  
Little bell stayed with me too  
C                           Am  
I'll keep my promise to you girl  
D                            G  
May your dreams someday come true  

  
N.C.                     G  
I won't make it home for Christmas  
G                   C  
My silver bell will ring for me  
C              Am  
High up on the hillside  
Am                          D  
Bless that little Christmas tree  
D                           C    D  
For It's the giving not the taking___  
D                Bm  
Though were far apart  
C  
It's the best that I can bring  
C                   Am
