I Won't Be Home For Christmas

[Intro]
G  G  Em  Em  D  D  C  D  2x


[Verse]
G
  Outside the carollers
         Em
start to sing

I can't describe the joy
     C
they bring cause joy
                        D        G
is something they don't bring me
                       Em
my girlfriend is by my side
                                     C
from the roof are hanging sickles of ice
                             D
they're whiny voices get irritating
     C               G
It's Christmas time again


[Verse]
G
  So I stand
                        Em
with a dead smile on my face
                                      C
wondering how much of my time they'll waste
                      D       G
oh god I hate Satan’s helpers
                            Em
And then I guess I must've snapped
                             C
cause I grabbed the baseball bat

and made them
            D
all run for shelter


[Chorus]
               G     D
It's Christmas time again
     Em                     C
It's time to be nice to the people
           G        D
you can't stand all year
    Em               C
I'm growing tired of all
               G
this Christmas cheer
    D               Em
You people scare me
        C                G
please stay away from my home
   D                        Em
If you don't wanna get beat down
     C
just leave the presents
         D
and then leave me alone


[Solo]
G  G  Em  Em  D  D  C  D  2x


[Verse]
       G
Well I guess

it’s not cool to freak
             Em
on Christmas Eve cause

the cops came
             C
and arrested me
                  D       G
they had unfair advantage

And even though the jail didn't have
  Em
a tree Christmas
                C
came a night early

cause a guy name Bubba unwrapped
   D
my package hot damn


[Chorus]
               G     D
It's Christmas time again
     Em                     C
It's time to be nice to the people
           G        D
you can't stand all year
    Em               C
I'm growing tired of all
               G
this Christmas cheer
    D               Em
You people scare me
        C                G
please stay away from my home
   D                        Em
If you don't wanna get beat down
     C
just leave the presents
         D
and then leave me alone
