[Verse 1]
    G                       Am
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn
    D7                      G
The cloak of the soldier is withered and worn
          Em                    Am
But what child is this that was poverty-born
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
 
[Chorus]
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly
    D7                 G
The dove that rests in yonder tree
    Em                    Am
The light that shines for all to see
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
 
[Verse 2]
    G                           Am
The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years
    D7                    G
The promise that silenced 1000 fears
   Em                       Am
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
 
[Chorus]
    G                    Am
The branch that bears the bright holly
    D7                 G
The dove that rests in yonder tree
    Em                   Am
The light that shines for all to see
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
 
[Verse 3]
    G                  Am
Add all the grief that people may bear
D7                    G
Total the strife, the troubles and care
Em                      Am
Put them in columns and leave them right there
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
 
[Chorus]
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly
    D7                 G
The dove that rests in yonder tree
    Em                   Am
The light that shines for all to see
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly
    D7                 G
The dove that rests in yonder tree
    Em                   Am
The light that shines for all to see
    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day

Thanks for this tab. This is what I hear - any line that has the Em Am progression, could be played as Em G/D Cmaj7/A Am It just has that nice descending progression
