D (xx0232@1)                  G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)
You have put on your feety pajamas

There's a knock on the door and a stranger is there
   Em (022000@1)                     A (x02220@1)        
He wants you to sit on his lap
D (xx0232@1)                        G (320003@1)          DHe (xx0232@1)takes your watch and he gives you a hairbrush

      F#m (244222@1)      Bm (x24432@1)        Em (022000@1)     
Cause he's got a long way to go
                      A (x02220@1)   Crazy Joco Edim7
And it's starting to rain

G (320003@1)       A (x02220@1)
Christmas is interesting
                    D (xx0232@1)Like a knife in your heart
                 Em (022000@1)      AChristmas (x02220@1)is interesting

                G (320003@1)       A (x02220@1)  
Christmas is interesting
                    DLike (xx0232@1)a stick in your eye
                   Em (022000@1)     (F#) GIt's (320003@1)so freaking interesting
                        AThat (x02220@1)it might make you cry

D (xx0232@1)                         G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)
So you're an elf, but you'd rather be a dentist
G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)               DMaybe (xx0232@1)you're a train with square wheels
G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)             F#m (244222@1)       Bm (x24432@1)  
Maybe you're a squirt gun that only shoots jam
Em (022000@1)                     A (x02220@1)
Now you know how Jesus feels
D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)             DHe (xx0232@1)is riding a sleigh he calls Rosebud
G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)         DHis (xx0232@1)mansion is lonely and cold
G (320003@1)       A (x02220@1)        F#m (244222@1)       Bm (x24432@1)  
He can't remember a pleasant December
Em (022000@1)                       A (x02220@1)Edim7
When he wasn't tired and old

G (320003@1)       A (x02220@1)

D (xx0232@1)             G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)
So you're drunk and your name is Jimmy Stewart
G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)        DYou (xx0232@1)once had a wonderful life
G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)             F#m (244222@1)       Bm (x24432@1) 
Then you lost all your money, you cracked up your car
Em (022000@1)                     A (x02220@1)
You yelled at your favorite wife
  D (xx0232@1)                 G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)
You go to bed and you wait for Jacob Marley
G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)        DHe (xx0232@1)comes to make you feel brave
G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)             F#m (244222@1)       Bm (x24432@1) 
But under his cloak he is nothing but smoke
Em (022000@1)                     A (x02220@1)             Edim7
And a finger that points at your grave

G (320003@1)       A (x02220@1)
