CHORUS:
1               *         *          *
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
*                 *                   4     *
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
*                   57               1       *
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
    2m            57            1       7   57
But as for me and Grandpa we be-lieve


1               *                 57       *
.... She'd been drinking too much eggnog
*           *                 1    *
.... And we begged her not to go                         
*            17            4         *
.... But she left her medi-cation                     (forgot)
       57               *             1      *
So she stumbled out the door into the snow            (And she staggered)
6m             *                   3m        *
.... When they found her Christmas morning            (we, in the)
57          *               1      *
.... At the scene of the at-tack
17              *                  4          *
.... There were hoof-prints on her forehead           (she had)
       57          *                  1      7   57
And in-criminating Claus marks on her back


1              *               57       *
.... Now we're all so proud of Grandpa
*              *              1      *
.... He's been taking this so well
*            17                4          *
.... See him in there watching football
         57               *                 1      *
Drinking beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel
6m            *                 3m        *
.... It's not Christmas without Grandma
57           *                   1       *
.... All the family's dressed in black
17          *                   4        *
.... And we just can't help but wonder
          57          *                  1      *
Should we open up her gifts or send them back

GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER    (PAGE TWO)


1            *               57       *
.... Now the goose is on the table
*            *               1     *
.... And the pudding made of fig
*          17              4        *
.... And a blue and silver candle            (the, candles)
           57                    *                 1      *
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig
6m               *                  3m         *
.... I've warned all my friends and neighbors 
57            *                  1         *
...... Better watch out for your-selves 
6m               *            2m        *
.... They should never give a license
     57               *                     1       *
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves
