Verse 1

Em Bm A D Last Boxing Day the wife went out, the "White Sales" for to see G D Bm Em A In trunk-load lots bought half-price paper and tinsel for the tree Em Bm A D I packed it up for use this year in a box I marked so plain G D Bm D A D That stuff would sure be handy now, but it's never been seen again

Chorus

D G D Bm A D At last I'm ready for Christmas; I've even finished the tree D G D Bm Em A At last I'm ready for Christmas, like I thought I'd never be Em Bm A D G With my feet propped up by a good hot fire and a matching inside glow D G D Bm A D Em A At last I'm ready for Christmas, with nearly two hours to go

Verse 2

Em Bm A D We swore this year we'd start off early, no need to rush around G D Bm Em A The intention was to start in August when the prices still were down Em Bm A D But it was dentist-this and new-bike-that and the money melts away G D Bm D A D So I had to wait for Christmas bonus and did it all yesterday

Chorus

Verse 3

Em Bm A D

{tab: We must be fools, just look at that pile|--you can hardly see the tree}

G D Bm Em A We said this year we'd keep things simple, then did our usual spree Em Bm A D But it feels so good when the kids go nuts, it's worth the toil and strain G D Bm D A D These kids are only this young once and they'll never be so again

Chorus
