Merry Christmas Everybody Tab

by Slade


Here it is – Merry Christmas
Verse 1
                                            
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
                                           
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
                             
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
                            
Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
                                            
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

Chorus:
                        
So here it is merry Christmas
                      
Everybody's having fun
                
Look to the future now
                      
It's only just begun

Verse 2
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest

Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Bridge
                        
What will your daddy do
                                  
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
           
Ah ah

Verse 3
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed

Chorus (4x)
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
