Grateful For Christmas Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Well[G], we'd all head to Waco,
for the birth of our [C]Lord
My folks and my brother in
an '82 Ford
[D]We'd pull in the [C]driveway
[D]filled up with cars
Old [C]aunts and old uncles,
[D]Lord I see stars
And then [G]we'd run to the kitchen,
you know kids and their games
[C]Play fetch with old Buster,
call each other names
[D]Aunt Betty'd be singing while
supper was cooking
We'd [C]unwrap the gifts when
[D]no one was lookin'

[Verse 2]
Let's [C]all gather [G]'round,
[C]Grandpa say the[G] blessing
[C]Aunt Jane, she[G] fell asleep,
Mary Kay burned the dress[D]ing
[C]But we got all[G] of our fri[C]ends
and family [G]here
And I'm [C]grateful for [D]Christmas this [G]year

[Verse 3]
Well, this [G]year, we're in Houston,
let's all get together
Man, I [C]al most saw snow,
can you believe this weather?
[D]Who's gonna be here? Uncle
Frank can't make it
Since [C]Grandpa died,
I don't know if [D]Nana can take it
Well, this [G]present's a sweater
and the pie don't taste [C]right
And Dad, and the TV, are startin' to fight
I [D]wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen
[C]Lord, what I'd give for one
[D]good lookin' cousin

[Verse 4]
So let's [C]all gather [G]'round,
[C]Dad you say the ble[G]ssing
[C]Aunt Jane, she fel[G]l asleep,
and Mary Kay forgot the dress[D]ing
[C]But we got [G]all of our [C]friends
and family [G]here
And I'm [C]grateful for [D]Christmas this [G]year

[Verse 5]
[G]Hey Mom, how you doing?
Yeah, I miss [C]him too
Nah, the Christmas lights don't
make your hair look blue
The [D]cousins ain't coming
and Jon's over[C]seas
And I guess my wife loves her
[D]folks more than me
But the [G]ladies from the church
said, they might stop by
[C]I brought you this picture,
ahh, mama don't cry
[D]Let's play cards and watch
the news channel
[C]I love you too, a[D]nd thanks for the flannel

[Verse 6]
So let's [C]all gather [G]'round,
[C]I guess I'll say the b[G]lessing
[C]Aunt Jane, she[G] fell asleep,
and I never cared for [D]dressing
[C]But we got [G]all of our [C]friends
and family [G]here
And I'm [C]grateful for [D]Christmas
this [Em]year[C]
Oh, I'm [G]grateful for [D]Christmas this [G]year
