Charlie Mcdonnell - In The Absence Of Christmas Chords

Em                          C
Sitting in the living room, staring at the decorations
D                        C
Feels so out of place in this house
Em                         C
Sucking on a toffee apple, munching on some pumpkin pie
D                        C
Seems so out of place in his mouth
Em                   C                   D                  C
Such incongruous cuisine, he eats a tangerine to clean his palate
Em                           C                        D
Someone get that man a mince pie, before he starts to cry
                     C
Ding dong merrily on high

C                     D            G
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
D        C
Oh, woah oh
C                     D            Em
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?

Em
Trick or treaters come a-knocking
C                              D                    C
At Saint Nicholas' door, but he ain't got no candy for them
Em                               C
Trick or treaters getting angry, throwing eggs at Santa's door
       D                                  C
But he tells them they'll be sorry come December 24
Em                                  C
This holiday, it makes no sense, no Gold no Myrrh no Frankincense
D                            C
Baby Jesus would be taking offence
Em                       C                    D
Santa's slouching by the fire in his jovial attire
                                                   C
He collapses to his knees, won't somebody help him - please?

C                     D            G
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
D        C
Oh, woah oh
C                     D            Em

C                     D            G

C                     D            Em
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?

       C                               D
And he lights a Jack-o-lantern, and he throws it in the road
        G                                 C
And the kids all start a-screaming as the lantern does explode
        C                                 D
But the parents of those kiddies hold old Santa to the ground
          G                                 C
Now Saint Nick is quite surrounded and Halloween is safe and sound

    C                     D            G
Oh, what does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
D        C
Oh, woah oh
C                     D            Em
