Jack Douglass - The Thanksgiving Song

      [Intro]
A D A D

[Verse 1]
A                         D                  A D
Halloween's over and it's not yet Christmas
A                                 D                    A D
There's a weird in-between in the middle and it sucks
Bm           E
So pardon my frown
         Bm         E                D7            Dmaj7
But it's hard to be excited when the theme color's brown

[Chorus 1]
A
Thanksgiving
D                    F#m         E
Here it comes again, the vicious cycle
A
Thanksgiving
D                   F#m           E
You're like Jackson 5 without the Michael
Bm                   E
Yeah, Macy's got a parade
       Bm                            D7
But it always ends with Santa on his sleigh
    A       D A D
Why bother?

[Verse 2]
   A
No Santa, no elves
            D                   A D
No witches, ghouls, or goblins
   A                       D                     A D
As holidays go, it doesn't even make the top 10
Bm               E
Christmas ham is so much better
Bm      E            D7     Dmaj7
"I love turkey" said no one ever
    
[Chorus 2]
A
Thanksgiving
D              F#m
Here it comes again
E
For no good reason
A
Thanksgiving
       D             F#m                E
You're in the way of my jolly Christmas season
Bm                     E
By five o'clock, we've stuffed our faces
Bm                    D7
Then it's back to the daily races

[Interlude]
A D A  D Daug

[Bridge]
Bm                            A
So why do I sing this song so angrily?
Bm                                  A
Thanksgiving's a chance to see your family
Bm                      E
Well, in case you don't remember
A                     D
We all do it again in December
Bm                    E
Planes and trains and cars and highways
A                       D7     Dmaj7
And the very next day is Black Friday

[Chorus 3]
N.C.
Thanksgiving
N.C.                                    E
Damn your icy heart, you've got no soul
A
Thanksgiving
D                    F#m           E
Let's take turns and say why we're thankful
Bm                 E
The only thing I'm thankful for is
Bm                  D7
Don't have to sing another chorus

[Outro]
A A A A
You're Christmas lite
