[Intro]
C F  C    Ddim7/C  C  Ddim7/C
 
[Verse 1]
   C                Ddim7/C                 C                  Ddim7/C
In middle fall when northern winds blow the clouds every which way
        Dm             C               Dm          C         Dm
And the temperature is variable in the course of a shortened day
    C               B7                Am                F
The ghost of summer lingers on in the dying rays of the sun
    Dm              C              Dm     C      Dm
And winter waits to heap its snow upon us by the ton
  Bb          F                Bb                 F
I jam a log into the stove and hasten to shut the door
                              Gdim7        Dm             C  G      C
In the room upstairs sleeps a baby boy who wasn’t there before__, before
 
 
[Chorus]
  F    Am Dm
I love my kid, my baby, my boy
C         F       G         C     F  Am  Dm
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
 
 
[Verse 2]
                    Ddim7/C              C                 Ddim7/C
Who knows what this year will bring, for us just what’s in store
          Dm              C             Dm        C        Dm
While the whistlepigs are bedded down beneath the woodshed floor
    C               B7                   Am             F
How many pounds the child will gain, the inches that he grows
       Dm            C              Dm   C       Dm
Will depend upon the measure of the love that we show
Bb                  F             Bb               F
Chainsaws whine out in woods, the geese have taken flight
                          Gdim7             Dm             C  G       C
And the daytime sounds of birds give way to coyotes in the night, the night
 
 
[Chorus]
  F    Am Dm
I love my kid, my baby, my boy
C         F       G         C     F  Am  Dm
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
 
 
[Verse 3]
                     Ddim7/C                 C               Ddim7/C
Once there were just two of us, now there’s another mouth to feed
    Dm              C                       Dm       C     Dm
And when he’s taken from the breast, can we meet his every need?
   C                        B7                  Am             F
We filled our home with the toys and clothes to suit his every whim
         Dm                     C                  Dm          C       Dm
And he’s filled our hearts with wondrous love that flows right back to him
    Bb                F                       Bb           F
The young grass grows up through the old, the lilac lives again
               Gdim7          Dm           C  G      C
Upon a painted latticework, a little rose ascends, ascends
 
 
[Chorus]    (fade to end)
  F    Am Dm
I love my kid, my baby, my boy
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
  Dm   G  C
I love my kid, my baby, my boy
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
  F    C  F    Am  Dm
I love my kid,       (my baby, my boy)
C         F       G         C     F  Am  Dm
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy             (my baby, my boy)
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
