CAPO: 2nd Fret



    C                            G                Am
I remember back when I was young on one Christmas Eve
F           C                   F              G
Mum and Dad tucked us in and we drifted off to sleep
C                                     G                Am
Sometime through that snowy night old Saint Nick did appear
   F                   C            G                 C
To fill our house with presents and lots of Christmas cheer
    Am                             G                 C
But morning came and poor old dad, he just stayed in bed
F                C          Dm                G
Face down in the pillow and that's what Mommy said
C                              G              Am
Daddy's really sick about what Santa did this year
          F                C               G                 C
He didn't eat the milk and cookies, but he drank all Daddy's beer

My sister got a tambourine and played it pretty well
F           C                 F            G
Me, I got a fire truck with a shiny silver bell
       C                            G         Am
Little brother got a cap gun with a realistic sound
F                C           G               C
Shooting all the bad guys to save our little town
    Am                                G                   C
But poor old dad he couldn't move, we thought that he was dead
F               C        Dm           G
Groaning like a grizzly, covering his head
C                              G              Am
Daddy's really sick about what Santa did this year
          F                C               G                 C
He didn't eat the milk and cookies, but he drank all Daddy's beer

                               G              Am
Mum finally took her chance to get Dad on his feet
    F             C           F                  G
She wanted him to help us out with the Christmas beast
          C                                    G                 Am
But as he tried to stuff the turkey, he turned white just like a ghost
      F              C          G               C
Still sad about what Santa did, last night I suppose
     Am                        G               C
Poor Dad was feeling terrible about the man in red
F               C                Dm                  G
How could Santa do this, does he drink and drive his sled?
    C                              G              Am
But Daddy's really sick about what Santa did this year
          F                C               G                 C
He didn't eat the milk and cookies, but he drank all Daddy's beer



                         Am    Ab         G              C
Now I know you might not all believe what Santa did this year
          F                C               Dm        G       C  
He didn't eat the milk and cookies, but he drank all Daddy's beer
