C F G C
The season’s upon us, it’s that time of year
C F G C
Brandy and eggnog, there’s plenty of cheer
C F
There’s lights on the trees
G C
and there’s wreaths to be hung
C F G C
There’s mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
C F
There’s bells and there’s holly,
G C
the kids are gung-ho
C F G C
True love finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe
C F G C
Some families are messed up while others are fine
F G
If you think yours is crazy…
C F G C C F G C
well you should see mine
C F G C
My sisters are wackjobs, I wish I had none
C F G C
Their husbands are losers and so are their sons
C F G C
My nephew’s a horrible wise little twit
C F G C
He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit
C F G C
He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs
C F
I’d like to take him out back
G C
and deck more than the halls
C F G C
With family like this I would have to confess
C F G C
I’d be better off lonely, distraught and depressed
Chorus:
F C
The season’s upon us, it’s that time of year
G C
Brandy and eggnog, there’s plenty of cheer
F
There’s lights on the trees
C
and there’s wreaths to be hung
G
There’s mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
F G
They call this Christmas
C F G C C F G C
where I’m from
C F G C
My mom likes to cook push our buttons and prod
C F G C
My brother just brought home another big broad
C F G C
The eye rollin’ whispers come loud from the kitchen
C F
I’d come home more often
G C
if they’d only quit bitchin’
C F G C
Dad on the other hand’s a selfish old sod
C F G C
Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog
C F G C
Who won’t run off fetch sure he couldn’t care less
C F G C
He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess
Chorus:
F C
The season’s upon us, it’s that time of year
G C
Brandy and eggnog, there’s plenty of cheer
F
There’s lights on the trees
C
and there’s wreaths to be hung
G
There’s mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
F G C F G C C F G C
They call this Christmas where I’m from
Bridge:
F G
The table’s set, we raise a toast
C F
The father, son, and the Holy Ghost
F C
I’m so glad this day only comes once a year
G
You can keep your opinions,
F
your presents, your happy new year
F G C F G C
They call this Christmas where I’m from
F G C F G C C F G C
They call this Christmas where I’m from
