[C#] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
[C#]
One morning after drinking
[C] [Gm] heavy in [C#] the night, [G#]
[C#]
every [F#] inch of my poor bones seemed to ache
and moan [C#] in the wind.
[F#]
[C#]
All my [D#m] troubles come tomorrow would be [F#] gone and then it's on to Christmas [C#] Day.
[F#]
[C#]
If Jesus had been born just [C] eleven [C#] days before, [F#]
[C#]
would [F#] the world have stopped to see
at least those on the street headed [C#] for a new [G#] town.
[C#]
[G#] And of [D#m] all those on their way, could [F#] the miracle have made one lay [C#] his guns down.
[F#]

[D#m] [C#]
[F#]
[C#]
That trigger stole his mind, [C]
how am I [C#] to blame.
[F#]
[C#]
I bet [F#] you'd never even aim at [C#] one.
[F#]
[C#]
Stealing and [D#m] aiming, killing and aiming, [F#] cutting and aiming.
What can be [C#] done.
Well [F#] for now who'd like to tell me on that morning [Fm] when [A#m] 27th fell.
How any [D#m] lesson in counting could ever [F#] ever amount.
Watching [C#] them fall [G#] and why the worst of all.
[F#] On Christmas [C#] morning
[F#] they'll [G#] still be [A#] gone.
[D#m] [C#] [F#]
[C#]
[F#]

[F#]
[C#] [F#]
[C#]
[F#]
[C#]
One morning after drinking
[C] heavy in [G] [C#] the night, [F#]
[C#]
I [F#] stopped to take a look at the crook that
stole this [C#] holiday.
Well [F#]
[C#]
[D#m] this Christmas my [F#] only wish is that we put [C#] these guns down.
