Santa Made Me Do It Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][C]
[D][G]
Sittin' there in
[C]that dark saloon,
playin' [D]cards to a ragtime tun[G]e,
a big old fellow started [C]eyein' me mean,
and on [D]his hip he had an iron machine,
[G]well I had one too,
but I didn't [C]wanna use it
till he reached [D]for his,
and I had to beat him to [G]it,
shot him through his heart
like an arrow [C]from Cupid,
and I can't [D]be to blame,
cause Santa [G]made me do it.
Later that night, [C]on a midnight ride,
passed [D]by a rancher's house
with a colt outside.
Then [G]I shared a look
[C]between my horse and I,
and in [D]that moment him and I conspired.
[G]So I hopped that fence [C]and I
cooed that colt,
gave him a carrot [G]to chomp on
[D]while I untied him from the post,
[G]led him down the trail,
[C]he became my new pet,
and it's not [D]my fault
cause Santa made [G]me do it.
The next town I hit [C]I do decree there
was a [D]fancy bank full of currency
So [G]I stepped inside [C]with my trusty
six -shooter
and just [D]to prove I was a
big bad bank robber
[G]I shot one in the air,
[C]told him hit the floor,
give me [D]everything you got
and then some more
[G]I tossed my sack [C]to the old bank teller,
he said ain't [D]you that bandit,
Santa's little helper?
I [G]said, yes I am,
and there's no [Am]way that I
[C]wasn't
And it's not [D]me robbing you,
it's really Santa who does it
And he [G]said, ain't you the one
with the bag [C]full of loot
And who bursts [D]in here
with a bullet to shoot
I [G]said, I got five more
[C]an d don't make me prove it
And if [D]anything should happen,
Santa [G]made me do [C]it
[D]
