Verse 1
A                            D             E
 This year has been a little crazy for the Andersons
A                           D            E
 You may recall we had some trouble last year
A                         D              E
 The robot council had us banished to an asteroid
A                           D       E
 That hasn't undermined our holiday cheer.

Pre-chorus 1
       F#m/C#           Faug/C#          A/C#                 B7
And we know it's almost Christmas by the marks we make on the wall.
           E        E/F#    E7/G#
That's our favorite time of year.

Chorus
      A              Aaug             F#m/A
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
            A7           Dmaj7              F#m
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
          B7                    E
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
      D              Dm6
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.

Verse 2
A                          D           E
 On every corner there's a giant metal Santa Claus,
A                         D           E
 Who watches over us with glowing red eyes.
A                            D                   E
 They carry weapons and they know if you've been bad or good.
A                         D        E
 Not everybody's good but everyone tries.

Pre-chorus 2
        F#m/C#              Faug/C#       A/C#          B7
And the rocks outside the airlock exude ammonia-scented snow.
          E        E/F#    E7/G#
It's like a Winter Wonderland.

Chorus
      A              Aaug             F#m/A
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
            A7           Dmaj7              F#m
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
          B7                    E
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
      D              Dm6
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.

Verse 3
A                                D                E
 That's all the family news that we're allowed to talk about.
A                               D        E
 We really hope you'll come and visit us soon.
A                       D              E
 I mean we're literally begging you to visit us.
A                               D               E
 And make it quick before they [MESSAGE REDACTED].

Now it's time for Christmas dinner - I think the robots sent us a pie!
           E       E/F#    E7/G#
You know I love my soylent green.
