The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
(C, G7, C)
A partridge in a pear tree.
(C, F, C, G7, C)
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Two turtledoves,
(G7)
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Three French hens…

Four calling birds

Five gold rings

Six geese a-laying

Eight maids a-milking
Nine ladies dancing
Ten Lords a-leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming
