D5                    G5       D5  
You have put on your feety pajamas
     G5          A5             D5
It's time for a long winter's nap
          G5            A5          F#5         B5    
There's a knock on the door and a stranger is there
   E5                       A5          
He wants you to sit on his lap
D5                          G5            D5
He takes your watch and he gives you a hairbrush
     G5           A5        B5
Your wife gets a wig on a chain
E5         A5 
He says he can't stay
      F#5        B5          E5       
Cause he's got a long way to go
                      A     Crazy Joco Edim7
And it's starting to rain


                 G5         A5  
Christmas is interesting
                    D5 
Like a knife in your heart
                 E5        A5
Christmas is interesting
                 D5
How it tears you apart
                G5         A5    
Christmas is interesting
                    D5
Like a stick in your eye
                   E5       ( F#5 ) G5
It's so freaking interesting
                        A5
That it might make you cry


D5                           G5           D5  
So you're an elf, but you'd rather be a dentist
G5              A5                 D5
Maybe you're a train with square wheels
G5              A5               F#5         B5    
Maybe you're a squirt gun that only shoots jam
E5                       A5  
Now you know how Jesus feels
D5              G5               D5
He is riding a sleigh he calls Rosebud
G5              A5           D5
His mansion is lonely and cold
G5         A5          F#5         B5    
He can't remember a pleasant December
E5                         A5  E?7
When he wasn't tired and old

              G5         A5  
Christmas is interesting
                    D5 
Like a knife in your heart
                 E5        A5
Christmas is interesting
                 D5
How it tears you apart
                G5         A5

                   E5       ( F#5 ) G5
It's so freaking interesting
                        A5
That it might make you cry


          D5               G5       D5  
So you're drunk and your name is Jimmy Stewart
G5              A5          D5
You once had a wonderful life
G5              A5               F#5         B5   
Then you lost all your money, you cracked up your car
E5                       A5  
You yelled at your favorite wife
  D5                   G5              D5  
You go to bed and you wait for Jacob Marley
G5              A5          D5
He comes to make you feel brave
G5              A5               F#5         B5   
But under his cloak he is nothing but smoke
E5                       A5               E?7
And a finger that points at your grave


              G5         A5  
Christmas is interesting
                    D5
