I Won't Be Home For Christmas

[Intro]
E  E  C#m  C#m  B  B  A  B  2x


[Verse]
E
  Outside the carollers
         C#m
start to sing

I can't describe the joy
     A
they bring cause joy
                        B        E
is something they don't bring me
                       C#m
my girlfriend is by my side
                                     A
from the roof are hanging sickles of ice
                             B
they're whiny voices get irritating
     A               E
It's Christmas time again


[Verse]
E
  So I stand
                        C#m
with a dead smile on my face
                                      A
wondering how much of my time they'll waste
                      B       E
oh god I hate Satan’s helpers
                            C#m
And then I guess I must've snapped
                             A
cause I grabbed the baseball bat

and made them
            B
all run for shelter


[Chorus]
               E     B
It's Christmas time again
     C#m                     A
It's time to be nice to the people
           E        B
you can't stand all year
    C#m               A
I'm growing tired of all
               E
this Christmas cheer
    B               C#m
You people scare me
        A                E
please stay away from my home
   B                        C#m
If you don't wanna get beat down
     A
just leave the presents
         B
and then leave me alone


[Solo]
E  E  C#m  C#m  B  B  A  B  2x


[Verse]
       E
Well I guess

it’s not cool to freak
             C#m
on Christmas Eve cause

the cops came
             A
and arrested me
                  B       E
they had unfair advantage

And even though the jail didn't have
  C#m
a tree Christmas
                A
came a night early

cause a guy name Bubba unwrapped
   B
my package hot damn


[Chorus]
               E     B
It's Christmas time again
     C#m                     A
It's time to be nice to the people
           E        B
you can't stand all year
    C#m               A
I'm growing tired of all
               E
this Christmas cheer
    B               C#m
You people scare me
        A                E
please stay away from my home
   B                        C#m
If you don't wanna get beat down
     A
just leave the presents
         B
and then leave me alone
