C          Am    Dm         G7
Silver and gold, silver and gold
C        Am         Dm         G7
Everyone wishes for silver and gold
C          Em          Am
How do you measure its worth?
Dm                      G
Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth


[Verse 2]
C          Am    Dm         G7
Silver and gold, silver and gold
C            Em          Am
Mean so much more when I see
Dm7        Em   C        Am
Silver and gold decorations
Dm7      G7        C
On every Christmas tree


[Verse 3]
C          Am    Dm         G7
Silver and gold, silver and gold
C          Am         Dm          G7
Horses and yo-yos and wishing for snow
C          Em               Am
What could compare to their worth?
Dm                        G
There is no treasure like them here on earth


[Verse 4]
C                         Am   Dm         G7
They're young, then their old, before you know
C                  Em      Am
They'll have their own family
Dm7            Em          C      Am
The days, they won't last forever
Dm7                G7        C
They're silver and gold to me


[Verse 5]
C          Am    Dm         G7
Silver and gold, silver and gold
C           Am        Dm         G7
Parties and presents, kisses and toes
C              Em           Am
What could compare to their worth?
Dm                   G
All of the people we love here on earth


[Outro]
C                  Am  Dm               G7
They come and they go, friends that you know
C               Em         Am
So hold them in your memories
Dm7          Em           C        Am
All precious gifts of the Giver
Dm7            G7      C
Are silver and gold to me
