When a cold wind [Bb] blows, it chills [Dm] you, chills you to the bone.
[Bb] But there's nothing in [Dm] nature that freezes your [C] heart like years of [Dm] being alone.
[Bb] It paints you [Dm] with [G] indifference like a lady [D] paints with rouge.
[Bb] And the worst of the [Dm] worst, the most hated and cursed, is the one that we call Scrooge.
[Bb] Unkind as [D] any, and the wrath of many, this is Ebenezer Scrooge.

Grimm.
If they gave a [Bb] prize for being [F] mean, the winner would be [Bb] him.

[F] If he [Bb] became a play-by [C]-you-can-bet, he would be sour.
[F] Oh, there goes Mr.
Skinflint, there goes [Bb] Mr.
Greed.
[F] The [Bb] undisputed master [F] of the [Dm] underhanded feed.
[Bb] He charges [F] folks a fortune [Gm] for his dark and [C] drafty houses.
[F] As poor folks [Bb] live in misery, the servant [F] was from our foes.
He [Bb] must be so [C] lonely, he must be so sad.
He [Bb] goes to [F] extremes to [C] convince us he's [F] bad.
He's really [F] a victim of [C] fear and of [F] pride.
Look [Bb] close, and there must be a [Dm] sweet man [C] inside.
Nah!
[F] There goes [Bb] Mr.
[F] Outraged, there goes [Bb] Mr.
Sneer.
[F] He has no [Bb] time for friends or [F] fun, his anger [Bb] makes that clear.
Don't ask him [F] for a favor, [Gm] cause his nastiness [C] increases.
[F] No crust of bread [Bb] for those in [C] need, no cheeses [F] for us pieces.
There goes [Bb] Mr.
[F] Heartless, there goes [Bb] Mr.
Cruel.
[F] He never [Bb] gets, he only [F] takes, he lets this [Dm] hunger rule.
[Bb] If being [F] mean's a way of [Gm] life, you practice [C] and rehearse.
[F] And all this [Bb] work is paying off, cause Scrooge is [F] getting worse.
Every [Bb] day in every [F] way, Scrooge is getting worse.
