Christmas In Paradise Chords by Mary Gauthier

_ Well, Davey stole a Christmas tree from Kmart last night.
Red ribbons, silver bells, an angel dressed in white.
[D] He tied it to the bridge rail so passing cars could [A] see.
He did a little dance up [E] there, looked down, [A] and smiled at me. _ _ _ _ _ _
My bed is a lawn chair, cushions keep it soft.
_ I sleep in the open air under the Southern Cross.
[D] _ Next to the golf course by the Hyatt Hotel.
[A] _ Davey's a friend of mine, [E] we get along [A] pretty well.
It's Christmas in [D] paradise, _ _ _ under the [A] Cal Key Bridge,
_ where the [E] warm breeze blows so nice, _ and the land of the [A] Lord. _ _
Snowbirds _ [E] _ _ _ _ _

_ on the golf course wear Bermuda shorts and polo shirts.
_ Some play pretty good, some play so bad it hurts.
[D] We pick up their golf balls, they fly over the [E] fence.
[A] Shine them up, a little bit, sell [E] them back for [A] fifty cents.
It's Christmas [D] in paradise, _ [G] _
