Strangest Christmas Yet

[Intro ] D A G D A D [Verso 1] D A D Every year the wife and I lay out the welcome mat G D For all the in-laws far and wide and our third cousin, Jack G D We trim the tree and hang the wreath and every time forget D E A That what comes through our door each year is the strangest Christmas yet D A G Two full days fore Christmas Eve, grandma comes by car G D With a pumpkin pie that she had baked that tastes like her cigar G D She pulls up in a pickup truck with crazy Uncle Don D A D He parks it where he does each year, right on our front lawn [Refrão] G It's the strangest Christmas yet,(so strange) D Strangest Christmas yet, (Wooo) D A D A D G A D It'll take some time to forget the strangest Christmas yet [Verso 2] D A D Oh lookie here the children dear have built a roaring fire G D Too bad it's in our driveway and with a stolen tire G D Then came time for photographs the camera's set to strobe D E A And I said to Uncle Bob, "You wanna close your robe?" D A G Cousin Billy likes his guns, and naturally he came armed G D He's on the lookout for invaders from the planet Zarn G D Uncle Teddy put on weight, he'd gotten rather large D A D We couldn't take him through the door, he stayed in the garage [Refrão] G It's the strangest Christmas yet, (how strange) D Strangest Christmas yet, (really strange) D A D A D G A D It'll take some time to forget the strangest Christmas yet {Solo} D A D G D G D D A D [Verso 3] D A D We blessed the food in different faith's that seemed to number seven G D And say a prayer that with just some help just might get to heaven G D Then from the garage we hear a sound that makes us ache D E A Uncle Teddy with a voice so pure that your heart would break (slowly - Free form) Bm "Joy to the world" D he sings it one more time Bm "Joy to the world" D he knows no other line Bm "Joy to the world" D We hear it once again (Original Tempo) D A D We all take hands and quiet down and let it all sink in [Verso 4] D A D I take him out a plate of food and thank him for the song G D He says so sorry that I might've got the words a little wrong G D We tip our glasses, give a hug, and toast to Christmas cheer D A D And count the months until we get to see them all next year [Refrão] G It's the strangest Christmas yet, (we love it) D Strangest Christmas yet, (can't wait till next year) D A D A D G A D It'll take some time to forget the strangest Christmas yet (Hey put down that spatula!)
