Robert Earl Keen - Merry Christmas From The Family guitar chord

Merry Christmas From the Family

written by: Robert Earl Keen Jr.

G C9

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk

G C9

At our Christmas party

G Em

We were drinkin' champagne punch

C D

And homemade eggnog

G C9

Little sister brought her new boyfriend

G C9

He was a Mexican

G Em

We didn't know what to think of him

C D

'Til he sang Feliz Navidad

G

Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him

The three from his first wife Lynn

And the two identical twins

>From his second wife MaryNell

Of course he brought his new wife Kaye

Who talks all about AA

Chain smokin' while the stero plays

Noel, Noel, The first Noel

CHORUS:

D

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on

C

Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone

D

Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store

C

We need some ice and an extention cord

D

A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite

C

A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights

G Em

Hallelujah everybody say cheese

C D G

Merry Christmas from the family

Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen

I can't remember how I'm kin to them

But when they tried to plug their motorhome in

They blew our christmas lights

Cousin David knew just what went wrong

So we all waited on our front lawn

He threw the breaker and the lights came on

And we sang Silent Night

Oh Silent Night

CHORUS:

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on

Make Bloody Marys cause we all want one

Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go

We need some celery and a can of fake snow

A bag of lemons and some Dite Sprite

A box of tampons and some Salem Lights

Hallelujah everybody say cheese

Merry Christmas from the family

Feliz Navidad.
