(Chorus) [C]Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas [F]Eve. You can say, "There's no such thing as [C]Santa. " But [F]as for me and [G]Grandpa, we be[C]lieve!

[Am]She'd been drinking too much [G]eggnog And we warned her not to [C]go. But she forgot her medi[F]cation And she wan[C]dered out the [G]door into the [C]snow.

[Am]When we found her Christmas [G]morning At the scene of the at[C]tack, There were hoofprints on her [F]forehead And in[C]criminating [G] Claus marks on her [C)back

(Chorus)

[Am]Now we're all so proud of [G]Grandpa. He's been taking this so [C]well. See him in there watching [F]footbaU, Drinking [C]beer and playing (G]cards with cousin [C)Mel.

[Am]lt's not Christmas without [G]Grandma. AU the family's dressed in [C]black. And we just can't help but [F]wonder,

Am

I c

00 F

I G

I Should we [C]open up her gifts or [G]send them [C]back? SEND THEM BACK!!

(Chorus)

[Am]Now the goose is on the [G]table And the pudding made of [C]fig And the blue and silver [F]candles That would [C]just have matched the [G]hair in Grandma's (C]wig.

[Am]l've warned all my friends and [G]neighbors. Better watch out for your[C]selves. They should never give a [F]license To a man who [C]drives a sleigh and [G]plays with (C)elf's!

(Chorus)

Sing It Grandpa!!

(Chorus)

(G] (C] Merry Christmas!!

To [G] Grandmother's [A7] house we [D] go.

The [A7] horse knows the way to [D] carry the sleigh

Through [E7] white and drifted [A] snow [A7].

[D] Over the river and through the woods

Oh [G] how the [A7] wind does blow [D].

It [G] stings the [A7] toes and [D] bites the nose

As [A] over the [A7] ground we [D] go.

[D] Over the river and through the woods

To [G] have a full [A7] day of [D] play.

Oh, [A7] hear the bells ringing [D] ting-a-ling-ling,

For [E7] it is Christmas [A] Day [A7].

[D] Over the river and through the woods

Trot [G] fast my [A7] dapple gray [D];

Spring [G] o'er the ground just [A7] like a [D] hound,

For [A] this is [A7] Christmas [D] Day.

[D] Over the river and through the woods

And [G] straight through the [A7] barnyard [D] gate.

It [A7] seems that we go so [D] dreadfully slow;

[E7] It’s so hard to [A] wait [A7].

[D] Over the river and through the woods

Now [G] Grandma's [A7] cap I [D] spy.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him [G7] names

They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer [C] games. [C7]

[F] Then one foggy [C] Christmas Eve [G7] Santa came to [C] say,

[G] Rudolph with your nose so bright, [D7] won't you guide my [G7] sleigh tonight

[C] Then how the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with [G7] glee,

“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in histor [C] y!"

[C] Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny [G] nose,

And if you ever saw it, you would even say it [C] glows!

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him [G7] names

They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer [C] games. [C7]

[F] Then one foggy [C] Christmas Eve [G7] Santa came to [C] say,

[G] Rudolph with your nose so bright, [D7] won't you guide my [G7] sleigh tonight

[C] Then how the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with [G7] glee,

“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in histor [C] y!

Play slowly [G7] You’ll go down in his-tor-[C] y!”
