[Chords]:
Intro: C
[Chorus A:]
C Em C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
C G C
There's Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
C Em C
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
C G C
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
C Em C
There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho
C G C
True loves finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe
C Em C
Some families are messed up while others are fine
C G-hold C
If you think yours is crazy, well you should see mine
C Em C
My sisters are wackjobs, I wish I had none
C G C
Their husbands are losers and so are their sons
C Em C
My nephew's a horrible wise little twit
C G C
He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit
C Em C
He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs
C G C
I'd like to take him out back and deck more than the halls
C Em C
With family like this I would have to confess
C G C
I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed
[Chorus B:]
C Em C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year

F C
They call this Christmas where I'm from
C Em C
My mom likes to cook push our buttons and prod
C G C
My brother just brought home another big broad
C Em C
The eyes rollin' whispers come love from the kitchen
C G C
I'd come home more often if they'd only quit bitchin'
C Em C
Dad on the other hand's a selfish old sod
C G C
Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog
C Em C
Who won't run off fetch sure he couldn't care less
C G C
He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess
[Chorus B:]
C Em C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year

F C
They call this Christmas where I'm from
C G
The table's set, we raise a toast
Em F
The father, son, and the Holy Ghost
C G
I'm so glad this day only comes once a year
Em C
You can keep your opinions, your presents, your happy new year
F C
They call this Christmas where I'm from
[Chorus:]
C Em C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year

They call this Christmas where I'm from
