D
Hello, Mom and Dad,

      Em
we're coming home for Christmas,

     A
It's been a long long time

       G                  D
and we know that you have missed us;
D

Likewise, I'm sure, we couldn't miss you more,

  Em
a new born child is with us,

A
Hello, Mom and Dad,

      G               D
we're coming home for Christmas.


[Verse 1]
D
Excursion fares always disappear.

     Em
just when you need them the most,

       A
I guess everybody's going home

     G                        D
from the west down to the east coast;
D
It's a five day drive, I'm drinking Five-Alive

         Em
and black coffee from a thermos,

A
Hello, Mom and Dad,

     G                       D
we're coming home for Christmas.


[Chorus]
D
Hello, Mom and Dad,

      Em
we're coming home for Christmas,

     A
It's been a long long time

       G                  D
and we know that you have missed us;
D

Likewise, I'm sure, we couldn't miss you more,

  Em
a new born child is with us,

A
Hello, Mom and Dad,

      G               D
we're coming home for Christmas.

[Verse 2]
D
I guess all the boys and the girls, too,

    Em
are coming with their kids,

A
Turkey dinner while we reminisce

       G               D
all the crazy things we did;
D
I sometimes wonder how you and Dad

Em
tolerated all our badness,

A
Hello, Mom and Dad,

     G               D
we're coming home for Christmas.


[Chorus]
D
Hello, Mom and Dad,

      Em
we're coming home for Christmas,

     A
It's been a long long time

       G                  D
and we know that you have missed us;
D

Likewise, I'm sure, we couldn't miss you more,

  Em
a new born child is with us,

A
Hello, Mom and Dad,

      G               D
we're coming home for Christmas.
