The girl at the grocery she's pretty and seems nice

...day But hey...
[chorus]
D A
But hey what could she mean by that
E A G D E
Perhaps I'm the fool she takes me for
A (4 measures)
Not anything more
A D A
I guess it's the season the time of the year
A E
When people they're happy and full of good cheer
A D A
Well they'll wish you and kiss you and wish you again
A E A
And they'll tell you it's peace and good will to all men
[chorus 2]
D A
But hey what could they mean by that
E A G D E
Perhaps I'm the fool they take me for
A (4 measures)
Not anything more
A D A
We stood at the altar and you held my hand
A E
And everyone watched as the preacher he asked
A D A
Will you take him and love him for bad and for good
A E A
You looked at me then you told him you would
[chorus 3]
D A
But hey what did you mean by that
E A G D E
Perhaps I'm the fool you take me for
A (4 measures)
Not anything more
[verse]
A D A
Now each Christmas morning I sit in my chair
A E
And I look up at the angels that float through the air
A D A
Some look down upon me, some come to my side
A E A
And they tell me that Jesus he said to say hi
