Intro: Fmaj7  Cmaj7  F  C  (x2) 

verse 1 
C 
One morning after drinking 
B            C 
Heavy in the night 
F                                                      C     F   C 
Every inch of my poor bones seemed to ache and moan in wait 
              Dm 
Cause all our troubles come tomorrow 
         F                                  Cmaj7 
We'll be gone and then it's on to Christmas Day 

Pre-Chorus 
C 
If Jesus had been born 
B                C    F   C 
Just eleven days before 
F 
Would the world have stopped to see 

At least those on the street 
           Cmaj7    F    C 
Headed for Newtown 
        Dm 
And of all those on their way 
          F 
Could the miracle have made 
             C    F    C 
One lay his guns down? 

Instrumental Chorus 
Fmaj7     Cmaj7 
Ooooo 

Fmaj7     Cmaj7 

verse 2 
C 
That trigger stole his mind 
B           C    F   C 
How am I to blame 
           F                  Cmaj7  F   C 
I bet you never even aimed at one 
                  Dm 
There's too many people killing people 
   F 
To put an end to evil 
            C   F   C 
What can be done? 

Pre-Chorus 
         F 
Well for now who'd like to tell me 
               Em       Am 
On that morning when 27 fell 
        Dm 
How any lesson in counting 
            F                             C 
Could ever, ever amount to watching them fall 
        G 
And why worst of all 
     F         C         F 
Come Christmas morning 
                 Am 
They'll still be gone 

Instrumental Chorus 
Fmaj7    Cmaj7  F C 
Oooo...yeah 
Fmaj7    Cmaj7  F C 
Oooo...Oooo 
Fmaj7    Cmaj7  Fmaj7 
Fmaj7    Cmaj7 

Outro 
C 
One morning after drinking 
B            C 
Heavy in the night 
  Fmaj7                                                   Cmaj7     F   C 
I stopped to take a look at the crook that stole this holiday 
          Dm 
Well this Christmas 
        F 
My only wish is 
                  Cmaj7  F   C  F  C 
We put these guns away
