           G 
There's a wondrous sight and a joyful sound 
 
                          D 
Every Christmas Eve in a western town 
 
                                         G 
Gather up the kids, all the friends and family 
 
                   G 
Cause the holly's hung and the candles bright 
 
                                     D 
They're tuning up the fiddles on a moonlit night 
 
                                                   G 
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree 
 
 
 
                 G 
There's a jolly man in a bright red suit 
 
                             D 
Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots 
 
                                            G 
Whirling 'cross the floor spurs a jingling merrily 
 
           G         
When they sing those carols soft and low 
 
                           D 
Well I'll be shouting out Cotton Eye Joe 
 
                                                   G 
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree 
 
 
 
 C                 G               D          G 
Wait beneath the misletoe you'll never get a kiss 
 
B7       Em                     A                D 
I never move that slow there's too much I could miss 
 
          G 
'Cause a western girl can't be still 
 
                       D 
And a Silent Night is not for me 
 
                                                   G 
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree

 G 
Red bandana, chili green 
 
                   D 
Silver buckles on new blue jeans 
 
                                           G 
Shuffling 'round the room to a Yuletide melody 
 
      G 
Well I'm gonna be ready when Santa comes 
 
                          D 
But I'm gonna be dancing till he does 
 
                                                   G 
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree 
 
 
 
 C                 G              D           G  
Wait beneath the misletoe you'll never get a kiss 
 
B7       Em                     A                D 
I never move that slow there's too much I could miss 
 
          G 
'Cause a western girl can't be still 
 
                       D 
And a Silent Night is not for me 
 
                                                   G 
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree 
 
                                                   G  
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
