[Chorus]
D                       G
Daddy's drinking up our Christmas
      D                       A
Gonna be some hard times this year
   D                    G
No tree or stockings or presents
     D          A         D
Just bottles of Christmas cheer

   G                  D
No new Frigidaire for Momma
   G                     A
No toy train for brother Jim
D                       G
Daddy's Drinking Up Our Christmas
           D            A         D
Don’t know what’s gonna become of him


[Verse 1]
            D                         G
He quit his job last friday, paid his last paycheck
    D                       A
And Momma, she ain’t seen a cent
    D                        G
The cupboards are empty, the phone’s turned off
D              A                D
Where we gonna come up with the rent

                    G
We ain't seen daddy two or three days
        D                           A
Tommy’s pa said they saw him at the track
      D                       G
Daddy lay down that bottle if you hear my pleaa
D         A           D
Mommy and me want you back


[Chorus]
D                       G
Daddy's drinking up our Christmas
      D                       A
Gonna be some hard times this year
   D                    G
No tree or stockings or presents
     D          A         D
Just bottles of Christmas cheer

   G                  D
No new Frigidaire for Momma
   G                     A
No toy train for brother Jim
D                       G
Daddy's Drinking Up Our Christmas
           D            A         D

[Verse 2]
            D                             G
Oh well the sheriff came around, said dad wrecked the family car
       D                               A
They arrested him and threw him in the tank
              D                        G
We’ll get you out Christmas morning if we can raise the bail
   D      A                         D
Oh Daddy, please don’t take another drink


[Chorus]

Daddy's drinking up our Christmas
      D               A
Gonna be no happy new year
   D                    G
No tree or stockings or presents
     D          A         D
Just bottles of Christmas cheer

   G                  D
No new Frigidaire for Momma
   G                     A
