Intro: C

 [Chorus A:]

    C                      Em           C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
        C                          G         C
There's Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
        C                               Em            C
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
        C                       G           C
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung

        C                            Em            C
There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho
           C                    G           C
True loves finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe
     C                            Em         C
Some families are messed up while others are fine
       C                    G-hold               C
If you think yours is crazy, well you should see mine


   C                       Em         C
My sisters are wackjobs, I wish I had none
      C                       G            C
Their husbands are losers and so are their sons
   C                   Em          C
My nephew's a horrible wise little twit
        C                           G           C
He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit

   C                           Em      C
He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs
    C                                  G             C
I'd like to take him out back and deck more than the halls
     C                        Em         C
With family like this I would have to confess
       C                     G             C
I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed



 [Chorus B:]

    C                      Em           C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
        C                          G         C
There's Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
        C                               Em            C
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
        C                       G           C
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
               F                   C
They call this Christmas where I'm from


   C                          Em          C
My mom likes to cook push our buttons and prod
   C                          G          C
My brother just brought home another big broad
    C                          Em            C
The eyes rollin' whispers come love from the kitchen
    C                              G         C
I'd come home more often if they'd only quit bitchin'

C                         Em          C
Dad on the other hand's a selfish old sod
C                            G         C
Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog
C                               Em            C
Who won't run off fetch sure he couldn't care less
   C                         G           C
He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess



 [Chorus B:]

    C                      Em           C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
        C                          G         C
There's Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
        C                               Em            C
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
        C                       G           C
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
               F                   C
They call this Christmas where I'm from


C                   G
The table's set, we raise a toast
    Em                   F
The father, son, and the Holy Ghost
    C                     G
I'm so glad this day only comes once a year
                  Em                                      C
You can keep your opinions, your presents, your happy new year
               F                   C
They call this Christmas where I'm from



 [Chorus:]

    C                      Em           C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
        C                          G         C
There's Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
        C                               Em            C
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
        C                       G           C
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
               F                   C
They call this Christmas where I'm from
               F                   C
They call this Christmas where I'm from
