12 Days Of Christmas

	  		THIS IS ACTUALLY IN 'HALF A STEP DOWN' AND ONLY CONSISTS OF 
D, G AND C CHORDS LOL. REQUESTER PUT WRONG TUNING  


G 
Hey, Merry Christmas, Adam! 
Merry Christmas, Fred! 
Merry Christmas to everyone 
Yeah man 
You having a good year? 
Yeah, It just feels good to be next to you here on the holidays 
Hearing you say merry Christmas 
It just warms my heart, man 
It's like soul food, like fired okra 
Dude, I'm having a great holiday this year, It's awesome 
Yeah man, so you wanna sing for these people or what? 
Yeah, here we go 
Okay 



G 
On the first day of Christmas 
    C                G 
My true love gave to me 
G           C    D    G    
A partridge in a pear tree 
G 
I don't even know what a partridge is, to be honest 
A partridge is a bird 
I think it's a bird that doesn't fly 
Like Danny Bonaduce? 
Um, no, it's ? 
He's ripped, ripped I'm telling you 
I heard he's a little, you know, fallen on the deep end, maybe 
Oh, yeah, well 
He's gonna kick my ass now 
No, it's against that napoleon complex, he's short 

G 
So, on the, on the second day of Christmas 
     C               G 
My true love gave to me two turtle doves 
G               C    D    G 
And a partridge in a pear tree 
G 
Turtle doves? 
They're nice 
Do they have shells? 
Uh, I don't know 

G 
But, on the third day of Christmas 
    C                G 
My true love gave to me 
D 
Three French hens 
D 
Two turtle doves 
G               C    D    G 
And a partridge in a pear tree 
G 
From now on can you sing 
"And a Danny Bonaduce"? 
Laughs 

G 
On the fourth day of Christmas 
    C                G 
My true love gave to me 
D 
Four calling birds 
D 
Three French hens 
D 
Two turtle doves 
G           C   D G 
And a Danny Bonaduce 
G 
That's good! 
Yeah, yeah, it works, the syllables 

G 
Yeah, so I started to wonder  
If my true love, my old lady 
Was going to get me anything 
Other than a bunch of birds 
Yeah, they're all, like, pooping everywhere and stuff, it's gross 
They're hard to clean up after 
So far she got me four calling birds, 
French hens, turtle doves 
The French hens, which are the French hens 
They're eating all your cheese 
Drinking up all your wine 
Like all hours of the day 
I love France 
So, I was wondering when 
She was going to get me something good 

G 
And on the fifth day of Christmas 
    C                G 
My true love gave to me 
G    C      D 
Five golden rings 
G & D Lick 
Nice! 
Yeah, I was finally happy 
G 
Four calling birds 
C 
Three French hens 
D 
Two turtle doves 
G           C   D G 
And a Danny Bonaduce 

G 
So, like, with the five golden rings 
That's kinda nice 
Yeah, but on the sixth day 
She started getting- 
Like Lil Wayne 
Or what's another rapper 
That has like a bunch of silly jewelry? 
Um, I don't know any, man 

G 
But, on the sixth day 
It kinda went downhill 
And the seventh cause she got me 
Six geese a-laying 
Geese Ar-laying? 
Like laying down? 
No, like, geese that are laying 
Like, ohhh, like 
That's gross 
Yeah, I don't know about that 
And then on the seventh day- 
I often wonder how geese would go about doing that 
If you're picking up what I'm putting down 
I-I don't want to talk about it, man 
Okay 

G 
On the seventh day? 
Seventh day 
Seven swans swimming 
More birds! 
Swimming? 
I hate it 
Like in ponds or in your bathtub? 

G 
On the eight day it got really weird 
Cause on the eight day of Christmas 
    C                G 
My true love gave to me 
D 
Eight maids a-milking 
What?! 
Yeah! 
What, are they milking the geese cause they're laying? 
D 
I think they're like lactating or something 
I don't get that 
Yeah 
I'm not into it 

G 
But, on the ninth day of Christmas 
    C                G 
My true love gave to me 
D 
Nine ladies dancing 
Nice! Okay, cool 
Oh, well that explains the maids a-milking 
No, these were like exotic dancers 
Like you can see on the internet 
Yeah, it was nice 
There was like one of those poles and all that stuff 
Yeah, but this is your old lady  
That's getting you all these things 
That's kinda weird 
I know, but she's looking out for me, you know 
Tenth day, tenth day 
Okay 

D 
On the tenth day it got crazy again 
Cause she gave me ten lords a -leaping 
Like the dark lords? 
I don't know 
That's so weird 

D 
And then the eleventh day 
Pipers piping 
Pipers piping? 
These are, by far, the strangest gifts I have ever received 
I don't understand 
Wait, like, laying pipe? 
No, that's the geese that are laying pipe 
Oh, well maybe they're laying it with the pipers 
Which would be weird all together 

            G 
But, on the twelfth day of Christmas 
This is the last day 
    C                D 
My true love gave to me 
D 
Twelve drummers drumming 
Everybody could use a good drummer 
Yeah, I could use twelve drummers 
Yeah 
The Grateful Dead had two drummers 
Dude, Slipknot has like ten 
Yeah 
Did you get to, like, choose which drummers 
Or are they just studio guys? 
I think they were pretty bad ass 
Oh, cool 
I mean, not that Mark's not 
I mean, Mark's kicking some ass 
Yeah 
You know 
Was he one of the twelve? 
Um, I don't know, but 

D 
So, let's go down the list 
And finish this godforsaken song off 
Oh, okay 
And wish everyone a very merry Christmas 

D 
Twelve drummers drumming 
D 
Eleven pipers piping 
D 
Ten lords a-leaping 
D 
Nine ladies dancing 
Let's give it up for the ladies dancing 
Go ladies 
Okay 
D 
Eight maids a-milking 
D 
Seven swans a-swimming 
D 
Six geese a-laying 
G    C      D 
Five golden rings 
G 
Four calling birds 
C 
Three French hens 
D 
Two turtle doves 
D     G     C   D G ~~~~~~ 
And a Danny Bonaduce
