(Intro):
D E7 A B

 1. (Verse 1 chords)
    D         E7        A               B
      Once a year my friend puts on a red suit
 D             E7         A         B
   and hangs around with me and my wife
 D            E7                  F#m     -
   but lately I've been feeling jealous
  G              -            A  -
 each time she climbs on his knee

 And she stands beneath the mistletoe screaming
 for him to stand beneath the mistletoe screaming
 now I can't help but feeling jealous
 each time she climbs on his knee
  G              -            A 
 why must she climb on his knee

 Chorus:
 D           E7            A           -
   I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
 D                 E7                 A       -
   she kissed him once and whispered in his ear
 D           E7            A           -
   I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
    Bm           -            G            -
 I wish he would go - he's breaking up my home

(Repeat Intro)
 
 2. (Repeat Verse 2 chords)
 She always had this twisted side to her
 but she'd never drag my name around town
 but lately she's been humming cheating songs
 and I don't like that fat guy around
 no I don't like that fat guy around
 
 (Chorus) (2x)

(Repeat intro chords, then end with E)
