[Chorus]
A
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
D
walking home from our house Christmas Eve
A
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
E A G D A
but as for me and grandpa we believe
[Verse]
N.C. E
She'd been drinking too much eggnog
A
and we begged her not to go
A7 D
but she forgot her medication
E A
and she staggered out the door into the snow
F#m C#m
When we found her Christmas morning
E7 A
at the scene of the attack
A7 D
she had hoof prints on her forehead
E A
and incriminating Claus marks on her back
[Chorus]
A
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
D
walking home from our house Christmas Eve
A
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
E A G D A
but as for me and grandpa we believe
[Verse]
N.C. E
Now were all so proud of grandpa
A
he's been taking this so well
A7 D
see him in there watching football
E A
drinking beer and playing cards with cousin mel
F#m C#m
It's not Christmas without grandma
E7 A
all the family’s dressed in black
A7 D
and we just cant help but wonder
E A
should we open up her gifts or send them back!
[Chorus]
A
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
D
walking home from our house Christmas Eve
A
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
E A G D A
but as for me and grandpa we believe
[Verse]
N.C. E
Now the goose is on the table
A
and the pudding made of fig
A7 D
and the blue and silver candles
E A
that would just have matched the hair in grandmas wig
F#m C#m
I've warned all my friends and neighbors
E7 A
better watch out for yourselves
A7 D
they should never give a license
E A
to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves!
