[F] [A] [Am]
[A] Well, I live on the [Dm] ridgetop and [Am] Lord knows I like it just fine
[Em]
[A] [Am] Where [D] it's windy and foggy, quiet [Am] most all the time
Yeah, [D] my lawn is pine needles and my [Am] driveway is old funky dirt
And [F] my [G] front pathway markers [F] are [E] pieces of granite [A] and chert
Now [Am] my taxes are high, [D] [Am] but I don't believe it's a sin, no
I [D] got hundred-foot pine trees, I just [Am] love to dance in the wind
And [D] a yard full of bushes that turn [Am] into pies in July
Between [F] Blue [G] Jays and Pool [F] Isles, I got [E] twenty-four-hour [Am] singing sky
[G] [Am]
[A] Now when I [Am] build my house, I [D] cut six trees [Am] to clear out the land
But [D] there's thirty or more left, and you know that they're [Am] gonna stay
It's [D] a squirrel sanctuary, [Am]
they think this woods is their home
And [F] as [G] long as I'm here, [F] I'll make sure [E] people leave us [A] all alone
Yes, [B] [Em] [Bm] [F#m]

[Bm]
[E] [Bm] [E] And the people who live in the [Em] flatland think that we [Bm] folks are nuts
But [Em] the ruts in [E] my road and the current keep the tourists at [Bm] bay
And [G] it's lonesome [A] and peaceful, [G] and [C#m] you know I like [E] it that way
[Bm]
Now I work in the city, [E] I think my [Bm] job is a gag
And I [E] know it's good [Em] for me to travel and get [Bm] on my ass
But the [E] very best parts of each trip are the Golden Gate [Bm] Bridge
And [G] the [A] road like a snake [G] that will lead me [F#] back home on [Bm] my wrist
[Am]

[A] I love Christmas
I [D]
love Christmas
[Am] And I know it's good for me to travel and [Bm] get [Am] on my ass
But the very best parts [D] of [G] each trip [D] are [Am]
the Golden Gate Bridge
And [G] [Am]
the road like a [D] [Am] snake that will lead me back home on my wrist
[D]
[Am]
I love Christmas

[D] And [Am]

But [D] [Am] [G] the very best parts of each trip are the Golden Gate Bridge
And the road like a snake that will lead me back home on my wrist
I love Christmas
