Title: The Man in the Santa Suit (Neil Halstead version)
Album: Brushfire Holiday's, Vol. 1: This Warm December
Year: 2008

Transcribed by: Nick Garcia (comcutsmedia.com)

CHORDS USED:
E (022100)
Esus (022200)
A (x02220)
B (x24442)
D (xx0232)

Notes:  It sounds like neil plucks the E string before strumming the E, then hits 
the Esus on the upstroke.  I can't wait to 

get the real tabs though cause there's a second guitar on this song that's doing 
some cool picking which I could only figure 

out a little bit of.  


Intro:
E Esus E Esus E Esus E Esus

       E   Esus   E
At the koc local 313
         A                       B
Theres a fat man standing by the soda machine
       A                   B
And he knows, he knows, he knows
            E     Esus E Esus E Esus E Esus
Life can be funny

             E          Esus     E
He calls the hair salon says put loretta on
          A                             B
Cause the mall just called and said the last guys gone
      A                 B
And I know, I know, God knows
            E     Esus E Esus E Esus E Esus
We need the money

          A       E
And hes a big red cherry
        A          E
But its hard to be merry
         A            E
When the kids are all laughing
       D                A
Saying hey its Jerry Garcia
        B
Aint he cute?
                       E Esus E Esus E Esus E Esus
The man in the santa suit

(Repeat chords for rest of song)

And all the moms in town they bring their brats around
But they cant sit still or keep their rootbeer down
Now its up, hey how bout that
It looks like a milkshake

Now Jimmys grown this year says mommy quick come here
Santas sweaty and he smells like beer
And he says, kid shut your mouth
You give me a headache

And hes jolly and hairy
But its hard to be merry
When the guys at the bar say he looks like a fairy, but hes doing it 
Just for the loot
The man in the santa suit

At the koc local 313
Theres a fat man standing by the soda machine
And he knows, he knows, he knows
Life can be funny
