Verse
Bb
The mistletoe bough in the olden time
C Am
Was honoured in many a sacred rhyme
Dm C G
By bards and by singers of high degree
Bb C Am Dm
When cut from its place on the old oak tree
F C Dm C
By white-robed Druid with golden knife
Dm C Bb Am
For they thought it a magical Tree of Life
Dm C G
And many a promise and holy vow
Bb C Am Dm
They were solemnly sworn on the mistletoe bough
Verse
Bb
The mistletoe bough in the Norseman's lay
C Am
Told ever of horrors, and love's dismay
Dm C G
When the old blind god, by a sportive blow
Bb C Am Dm
Laid Balder, the beautiful sun god, low
F C Dm C
Thenceforth it was deemed an accursed thing
Dm C Bb Am
But love out of sorrow could victory bring
Dm C G
And the tears of Freja are shining now
Bb C Am Dm
Like the orient, pearls on the mistletoe bough
Verse
Bb
The mistletoe bough on the festive throng
C Am
Looks down amid echoes of mirthful song
Dm C G
Where hearts they make music, as old friends meet
Bb C Am Dm
Whose pulse keeps the time to the dancer's feet
F C Dm C
And eyes they are brighter with looks of love
Dm C Bb Am
Than gems outshining the lamps up above
Dm C G
And who is she that will not allow
Bb C Am Dm
A kiss that's claimed under the mistletoe bough?
