Chords for Metro - Twas the Night Before Christmas

[C#] _ [C] _ [F#] _ [G#] _ [F#] _ [Fm] _ [D#m] _ [C#] _
_ [G#] It was the night [C#] before Christmas, [C#m] and [A#] all through the [D#m] house, not a creature [Em] was stirring,
[Fm] not even a mouse.
[G]
[F#] Mom and I, [G#] that's my [F#] wife Katrina, we just [G#] finished [F#] doing [C#] the chores,
you know, milking the cows and everything, and we [G#] just put the kids [C#] to bed, because they
were making noise all [A#m] night, and during the day they [C#m] were by [F#] the barn in the chicken coop,
they were playing hide [B] and go look.
So I said, kids, [C#] get to bed right away, because school's
[D#m] tomorrow, you know, [F] you have to catch [D#] the school bus.
So Mom and I [F#] just had a cup of
coffee, [G#] they were [F#] sitting, having [Fm] lunch, [D#m] [C#] and then [G#] all of a sudden we said, [F#] let's look on
[C#] the news.
[A] So we [Dm] opened the TV, [D#m] I was watching the news, [Em] and I heard [G#] at an instance [Bm] some
[F#] kind of noise, some [A#m] rustling.
[D#m] I [F#] thought, [G#] so and [F#] again, [C#] must be a Halloween [D] joke.
Now it
can't be a [A#m] Halloween joke, because it's [F#] Christmas, [G#] but [C#] you know, a close together side page like
that.
[F] [A#m] And Katrina [F] says, I think [F#] there's somebody outside.
I says, [C#] no siree Bob, I don't [D#m] think
so.
She says, well Matt, [C#] open up the [A#m] light that [D#m] shines past the barn, the chicken [C#] coop
and where we keep the [G#] dogs in there.
[A#] [G#] So [F#] I opened [Fm] the light, [D#m] [C#] and there standing by my
messy 44 car shot [A#m] special [Dm] diesel, next [D#m] to my half truck to pick me up one, [G#] was some
kind of [B] guy, [C#] red suit on.
[G#] Now I never look on his face, [F#] but I [C#] knew I knew him from some
place, you know, I know his face, but I just couldn't make him.
So I go out, I grab [Fm] the
23, you know, [C#] just in case somebody wants to steal my [G#] two and a half [F#] boogie roll.
Three
years ago last summer, [C#] one guy come and he met me in action danger, like he must be some
kind of [D#m] high shot.
[F] Now [D#] this guy, I walk up to [D#m] him and I says, how's everything?
He [G#] says,
like that, you know, 64, [C#] must be for sure [Fm] 200%.
[D#] And I look close and [E] his face, he's
got a big [A#] beard, you know.
[D#m] He looks like a hippie, [G#] you know, a hippie, you know, a [G] [F#] guy
that looks like a Jill [A#m] and smells [F#] like a John.
But I look [C#] close and he's got a red uniform,
[Fm] and I figure he must [C#] be from the fire department.
But he's [Fm] not, because he's got some kind of
animals there, you know.
[C#] _
[G#m] And I [A#m] say, how's everything going?
He says, oh, poor [F#m] guy, very
busy tonight.
[C#] I said, well, where are you going with [A#m] those funny animals there [D#] pulling
[G#] that, you [C#] know, like a sleigh, you know.
[G#] But he has [A#m] a caboose [G#] and you got the [F#] fire in the
[F] inside to [D#m] keep your foot [C#] warm so you don't froze it.
And he [F#] says, I'm going [C#] to [A] Solofon
Chicks.
[Dm] Could [F#] you give me directions?
I says, [G#] no problem.
Now, [Bm] from here you [F#] go to the main
road.
You go past the 53rd correction [Fm] line, you go 11 miles south.
No, pardon me, [G] you
go 3 miles south and turn [C#] right 4 miles.
[Fm] No, wait a minute, that's wrong.
I [F] said, Matt,
remember, other [F#] direction.
You go 4 miles east and [D#] 7 miles south.
No, [C#] sorry, Bob, I
don't think so.
I finally look [F#] at him and I say, you know, [Cm] you just can't [D#m] get there
from here.
He says, well, I'll [G#] try my luck.
He says, I want to feed my [Fm] reindeers.
Reindeers?
Ah, [F#] come on, you're pulling my [Dm] leg.
I said, that could be [D#m] reindeers.
He says, sure.
[G#] I
said, the only guy that's got [G] reindeers [F#] is Chris Kringelovich, Santa Clubs.
Sure.
[C#] He
says, well, that's I am.
I says, come on, you're [F#] making a danger [G#] to my head.
[C#] You're
pulling jocks, you [Fm] little devil.
So, but he [A#m] jumps, he [G#m] goes, are you [F#] called Sleigh?
And
he shouts those names, [B] you know, like Mary, Netto, oh, [C#] God, Nick, [A#m] Walter.
