Intro: A5 AaugA5 Aaug

Verse 1
A5                            D5             E5
 This year has been a little crazy for the Andersons
A5                           D5            E5
 You may recall we had some trouble last year
A5                         D5              E5
 The robot council had us banished to an asteroid
A5                           D5       E5
 That hasn't undermined our holiday cheer.

Pre-chorus 1
       F#5           Faug/C#5          A5                 B5
And we know it's almost Christmas by the marks we make on the wall.
           E5        E5    E5
That's our favorite time of year.

Chorus
      A5              Aaug             F#5
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
            A5           D5              F#5
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
          B5                    E5
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
      D5              D5
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.

Verse 2
A5                          D5           E5
 On every corner there's a giant metal Santa Claus,
A5                         D5           E5
 Who watches over us with glowing red eyes.
A5                            D5                   E5
 They carry weapons and they know if you've been bad or good.
A5                         D5        E5
 Not everybody's good but everyone tries.

Pre-chorus 2
        F#5              Faug/C#5       A5          B5
And the rocks outside the airlock exude ammonia-scented snow.
          E5        E5    E5
It's like a Winter Wonderland.

Chorus
      A5              Aaug             F#5
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
            A5           D5              F#5
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
          B5                    E5
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
      D5              D5
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.

Verse 3
A5                                D5                E5
 That's all the family news that we're allowed to talk about.
A5                               D5        E5
 We really hope you'll come and visit us soon.
A5                       D5              E5
 I mean we're literally begging you to visit us.
A5                               D5               E5
 And make it quick before they [MESSAGE REDACTED].

Pre-chorus 3
         F#5             Faug/C#5              A5             B5
Now it's time for Christmas dinner - I think the robots sent us a pie!
           E5       E5    E5
You know I love my soylent green.

            A5           D5              F#5
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
          B5                    E5
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
      D5              D5
