A KIND OF CHRISTMAS CARD
- Morten Harket (Håvard Rem/Morten Harket)


Intro: |D|Hm|F#m|A| x2


D Hm F#m A
All you folks back home I'll never tell you this
D Hm A
You're not supposed to know where your daughter is
G A Hm
There are ways of life you never understood
G A D
It's right here downtown Hollywood
G A
It's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard
Hm
I've got a stolen moment trying hard
A G
To write a kind of Christmas card


D Hm F#m A
But I am bruning out again
D Hm F#m A
Tonight there is fever in my veins


Mama, dear, all the love you gave
I guess there's really nothing, nothing much to save
This place is as dirty as I feel myself
There are still some riches at the Roosevelt
That evening prayer, those memories
In my little bedroom, mama, on my knees
That's where I'm at down in Los Angeles

And I am burning out again
And I must rise above the shame
Tonight there is fever in my veins


Instrumental: |G-A|Hm|Gmaj-A|Gmaj-

A Hm
Just think of the girl I used to be
A Gmaj A D
You were my age once, mama, twenty-three
A G
I can still hear some of the songs you used to play
A Hm
From that summer of love in '68
A Gmaj
Seems it's turned into a winter of hate


And I am bruning out again
And I must rise above the pain
Tonight there is fever in my veins
Tonight there is fever in my veins, yeah

Summer of love
Winter of hate
