      D                       A
Gonna be some hard times this year
   D                    G
No tree or stockings or presents
     D          A         D
Just bottles of Christmas cheer

   G                  D
No new Frigidaire for Momma

No toy train for brother Jim

Oh well the sheriff came around, 
          G
said dad wrecked the family car
       D                           
They arrested him and threw him in
