[G] [C] [E] When I was small [A] I believed [G] in Santa [C] Claus, [E] the one who is [G] what my dad.
[C] And [E] I would hang up [Am] my [G] stocking at Christmas, [C] [E] open my presents and [G] I'd be glad.
[Am] [G] But the last [F] time I played for [E] the Christmas, [A] I [G] stood outside the [F] department [E] store.
[C] A [E] gang of kids [A] came over [G] and loved [C] me, and [E] knocked my ring into [G] the floor.
[F] They said, [C] Martin, Griffin, [F] give [C] us your [F] money, don't mess around, we don't [G] spend your [F] time.
Beat you up, don't [C] hand it [F] over, [C] we want your [F] friends, so don't make [G] us annoyed.
Give [F] all the toys [G]
[C] to the little rich boy.

[A] Don't [G] give my daddy [F] a job, [Em] cause he needs [Am] one.
[G] He's got [F] lots of smiles [C] to be.
But [E] if you've got [Am] one, I have [G] a machine [C] gun, so I can [Am] scare all the kids [G] down the street.
[F] [C] Father Christmas, [F] give us [C] your money.

While you're drinking down [G] your wine.
