That Christmas spirit

[Verse 1]

     F             Bb
Everybody runnin' around
    F
All over town
Bb            F      Bb     F
Buyin' out any shop around
        Bb      F
Get yourself in line
      Bb          F
Buy a big ball of twine
   Bb            F          Bb       F  Bb
Anything you can get your hands on

      C
Don't care what you give
     C
Just gotta get a gift
      C
Don't know what you're givin' it for

    F               Bb            F         Bb
The only thing that counts is the brand and amount
        F         Bb        F        Bb
And that it comes from an expensive store

[Chorus]

     F      C

Can't you hear it

[Verse 2]

     F           Bb
Rush home with a tree
     F             Bb
Half withered half green
     F             Bb         F      Bb
And strangle it to death with tinsel
      F             Bb
Pay a dollar ninety eight
      F        Bb             F
for a ten cent wreath hangin' on your door
   Bb           F      Bb
to make it look useful
C
Ma's in the kitchen makin' apple pies
C                                                   F       Bb
Feedin' the relatives with all their lies and their welcome

[Verse 3]

      F                 Bb      F           Bb
Gonna take the children down to see the fat clown
   F            Bb         F     Bb
Who pretends to be what he ain't
       F            Bb           F            Bb
He's a dime store commercialized manufactured product
  F         Bb           F      Bb
directly descended from a saint
C
You set 'em on his knee and teach 'em to bleed
C                            F
all your last years savings
          Bb
It's that time of year
F          Bb             F    Bb        F        Bb
So fill it with cheer and satisfy all the cravings

[Chorus]

It's in the air
               F  Bb  F  Bb
Can't you hear it

That Christmas spirit

[Verse 4]
         F        Bb          F           Bb
When the big day arrives in a mansion and dive
     F             Bb    F  Bb
Everyone is havin' a fiasco
   F          Bb          F         Bb     F
It only comes once a year, splendid cheer
             Bb                F       Bb
Most of that cheer comes from a bottle
C
Now I sat on a street I asked him first then I meet
C                                    F
Who's birthday you think it is today
   Bb            F             Bb       F            Bb       F
He stopped dead, scratched his head and puzzled then he said
N.C.
I'm not sure I think it's one of our presidents
N.C.
Ain't it

[Chorus]

     F      C
It's in the air
               F  Bb  F  Bb
Can't you hear it
