Promises To Keep

Trans-siberian Orchestra

Text File

This is the version performed by Jennifer Cella at the band's live performances.  I did 
with just my acoustic guitar and it is my first submission, so please go easy on me!

Use a capo if necessary to guide your voice.  I'm a girl and I find it comfortable with 
capo at the 4th fret.  It can work just as well on the 3rd or even 5th, depending on 
voice's capability.


Intro
G   D   Am   C
G   D   Am   C

G         D         Am           C
Christmastime on a cold December morning
G       D            Am            C
All is calm and the world is still asleep
G           D               Am                  C
Christmas lights that have been caught without warning
Am     C
Gently glitter on
G         D
Stars to wish upon
G        D            G    D    Am   C
All the world is at peace

G    D    Am    D

G         D            Am                C
Christmastime and the year will soon be leaving
G           D              Am        C
Cloaked in time till it�s just a memory
G           D	       Am	        C
Christmas stays if we don�t forget its meaning
Am       C
Days go quickly by
G           D
Years they multiply
    G     D          G
And we go searching for thee

Chorus

	        Em           G
And the dream is still alive
           C              D
From that first December morning
	        Em           G
And it always will survive
    C          	 D
As long as we can see
           Am            C
That the dreams that we find in life
          Am             D
Are the dreams we tend to seek
     Am                D           G      Am
And Christmas has its promises to keep
        D
Oh, to keep

Refrain

G   D   Am   C
G   D   Am   C
G   D   Am   C
Am   C   G   D
G   D   G

Chorus

	         Em             G
And the dream is still alive
            C             D
From that first December morning
	        Em          G
And it always will survive
    C          	   D
As long as we can see
           Am            C
That the dreams that we find in life
          Am             D
Are the dreams we tend to seek
     Am               D
And Christmas has its promises

Am                 D
Christmas has its promises

Am                 D           G        D
Christmas has its promises to keep
        Am         C
Oh, to keep
    G          D
To keep
Am     D
Ohhhhh ohhhhh

G         D           Am              C
Christmastime and the moment�s just beginning
G          D              Am              C
From that night when we wished upon that star
    G        D           Am             C
And if this kindness we feel is just pretending
   Am          C
If we pretend long enough
G     D
Never giving up
    G         D          G    D    Am   C
It just might be who we are

G      D      Am     C
