[D][A][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm getting
nuttin' for Christmas.
[A]Mommy and Daddy are mad.
[D]I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
Cause [A]I ain't been nuttin' but b[D]ad
I broke my back on [G]Johnny's [D]head
Some[Em]body [A]snitched on [D]me
I hit a frog in [G]sister's [D]bed
Some[Em]body [A]snitched on [D]me
I spilled some ink on [G]Mommy's rug
[A]I made Tommy e[D]at a bug
[Bm]Bought some gum
with a [Em]penny slug
Some[A]body snitched on [D]me
Oh, I'm getting nothing for Christmas
[A]Mommy and Daddy are mad
[D]I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
cause [A]I ain't been nuttin' but b[D]ad.
I put a tack on [G]teacher's [D]chair,
[Em]somebody s[A]nitched on m[D]e.
I tied a knot in [G]Susie's [D]hair,
[Em]somebody s[A]nitched on m[D]e.
I did a dance on [G]Mommy's plants
[A]Climbed a tree and I [D]tore my pants
[Bm]Filled that sugar [Em]bowl with ants
[A]Somebody snitched on [D]me
Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin'
for Christmas
[A]Mommy and Daddy are mad
[D]I'm getting knighted for Christmas
Cause [A]I ain't been knighted but b[D]ad
So you [Em]better be good whatever [D]you do
Cause [G]if you're bad I'm [D]warning you
[G]You'll get [A]knighted[D][A][D][Em][D]
It's the hardest song we've ever done.
