[C]
Well, sit right down, my wicked son, and let me tell you a story
[A] About the boy who fell from glory and [C] how it was a wicked [G] son.
This ain't no [F] holiday, but it [F] always turns out this [D] way.
Here I am with my [C] nails.
He took his sister from his head [Am] and he painted her on the sheets.
And he [C] rolled her up some trees and then kissed her, they were dead.
[G] This ain't [F] no holiday, [A]
[Em] but it [F] always turns out this [D] way.
Here I am with [Am] my [C] hair.
