This is my favorite Christmas song and no ones seemed to have the full version so here it is!
Capo- II
G
Well we'd all head to Waco, for the birth of our Lord
C
My folks and my brother in an 82 Ford
D
We'd pull in the driveway filled up with cars
C D
Old aunts and old uncles, Lord I see stars
G
And then we'd run to the kitchen, you know kids and their games
C
Play fetch with old Buster, call each other names
D
Aunt Betty'd be singing while supper was cookings
C D
We'd unwrap the gifts when no one was lookin
Chorus:
C G C G
Let's all gather round, Grandpa say the blessing
C G G D
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing
C G
But we got all our friends and family here
C D G
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
G
Well this year we're in Houston, lets all get together
C
Man I almost snow can you believe this weather
D
Who's gonna be here, Uncle Frank can't make it
C D
Since Grandpa died, I don't know if Nana can take it
G
Well this present's a sweater and the pie don't taste right
C
And Dad and the TV are starting to fight
D
I wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen
C D
Lord what I'd give for one good lookin cousin
Chorus:
C G C G
So lets all gather round, dad you say the blessing
C G G D
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing
C G
But we got all our friends and family here
C D G
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
G
Hey Mom how you doing, yeah I miss him too
C
Nah the Christmas light don't make your hair look blue
D
The cousins ain't coming Jon's overseas
C D
And I guess my wife loves her folks more then me
G
But the ladies from the church said, they might stop by
C
I brought you this picture, ahh mama don't cry
D
Let's play cards and watch the news channel
C D
I love you too, and thanks for the flannel
Chorus:
C G C G
So lets all gather round, I gues I'll say the blessing
C G G D
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, I never cared for dressing
C G
But we got all our friends and family here
C D G
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
C D G
Oh, I’m grateful for Christmas this year
