Chords for Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers - "Strangest Christmas Yet" (Official Video)

[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ [F#m] _ [A] _
[D] _ _ _ _ Every year the wife and [A] I lay out the [D] welcome mat
[G] For all the in-laws far and [D] wide and our third cousin Jack
[G] We trim the tree and hang the [D] wreath and every time forget
That what comes through our door each [E] year is the strangest [A] Christmas yet
_ [D] Two full days for Christmas [A] Eve, grandma [D] comes by car
[G] With a pumpkin pie that she had [D] baked that tastes like her cigar
[G] She pulls up in a pickup [D] truck with crazy Uncle Don
He parks it where he does each [A] year, right [D] on our front lawn
[G] It's the strangest Christmas yet So strange!
[D] Strangest Christmas yet _ _
[A] It'll [D] take some [A] time to [D] forget the [A] strangest [D] Christmas yet
Oh looky here, the children [A] dear have built a [Dm] roaring fire
[G] Too bad it's in our driveway [D] and with a stolen tire
[G] Then came time for [D] photographs, the camera set to strobe
And I said to Uncle [E] Bob, you wanna [A] close your robe?
_ [Dm] Cousin [D] Billy likes [A] his guns, naturally he [D] came [G] armed
He's on the lookout for [D] invaders from the planet [G] Zorn
Uncle Teddy put [D] on weight, he'd gotten rather large
We couldn't take him through [A] the door, he stayed [D] in the garage
It's [G] the strangest Christmas yet How strange!
[D] _ Strangest Christmas yet Really strange!
[A] It'll [D] take a [A] while to [D] _ forget the [A] strangest [D] Christmas yet _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We bless the food in [A] different faiths, that's seen to [D] number seven
[G] And say a prayer that with some help [D] just might get to heaven
[G] Then from the garage [D] we hear a sound that makes us ache
Uncle Teddy with a voice so [A] pure [E] _ [Bm] that your [E] heart would [A] _ _ break _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] Joy to the [D] world
He knows no other line _
[Bm] _ Joy [B] to the world
[D] He sings it one more time
[Bm] _
Joy to the world
[D] We hear it once again
We all take hands and [A] quiet down and let it all [D] sink in
I take him out a plate of food [A] and thank him for [D] the song
[G] He says so sorry that [D] I might have got the words a little wrong
[G] We tip our glasses, [Bm] give a hug and toast [D] a Christmas cheer
And count the months until we get [A] to see them [D] all next year
_ [G] It's the strangest Christmas yet
We love it!
_ _ [D] Strangest Christmas yet
Can't wait till next year!
[A] It'll take [D] some [A] time to [D] forget the [A] strangest Christmas [D] yet
Hey, put down that [A] spatula!
It'll take [D] some [A] time to [D] forget the [A] strangest Christmas [D] yet _ _ _ _ _ _
