The Season's Upon Us

Dropkick Murphys

 

Intro: / C - - / x4

       / C - - / x8 (w/Main Melody)

 

     C         F             G            C

The season's upon us, it's that time of year

C          F                 G         C

Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer

         C              F                 G            C

There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung

         C            F          G           C

There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung

 

         C                 F          G             C

There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho

      C            F            G           C

True love finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe

      C            F              G           C

Some families are messed up while others are fine

         F (hold 2)     G (hold 2)                     

If you think yours is crazy   well you should see mine

 

Interlude:

/ C - - / F - - / G - - / C - - / x4 (w/Main Melody x2)

 

    C           F           G          C

My sisters are wackjobs, I wish I had none

       C            F          G            C

Their husbands are losers and so are their sons

    C          F        G            C

My nephew's a horrible wise little twit

         C         F                 G            C

He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit

 

    C             F            G        C

He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs

             C            F             G             C

I'd like to take him out back and deck more than the halls

      C            F           G          C

With family like this I would have to confess

        C          F           G             C

I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed

 

 

 

Interlude:

/ C - - / F - - / G - - / C - - / x2 (w/Main Melody)

 

    C            F             G            C

My mom likes to cook push our buttons and prod

     C            F            G           C

My brother just brought home another big broad

    C              F            G             C

The eyes rollin’ whispers come loud from the kitchen

     C             F               G          C

I'd come home more often if they'd only quit bitchin'

 

C          F               G           C

Dad on the other hand's a selfish old sod

         C       F            G         C

Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog

     C             F             G             C

Who won't run off fetch sure he couldn't care less

      C        F              G           C

He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess
