[D] [G] [D] [Em]
[D] It [C#] was [D] Christmas Eve, babe
In the truck [G] time
I know [A] my love said to [D] me
Won't see another [B] one
[A] [D] And then he sang a song
To rare [G] old Mountain Dew
I [A] turned my [D] face away
[G] And dreamed [A] [D] about you
But on a lucky one
[A] Came an 18 [G] to 1
I've got a [A] feeling
[D] This year's for me and [A] you
Happy [D] Christmas

[A] [Bm] [D] [G] [D] [A]
[D] You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an owl cut up, droop
Lying [G] there almost [A] dead
On a [D] drip in my bed
You're scum bag, you're maggot
You're a cheap man, you're a haggot
Happy [G] Christmas me [A] lass
I pray [D] God it's all [G] right
