D               F#m
The cattle are lowin'
G                  A
Are we're eating beef
D                  F#m
And we turned off the TV
G                 A
And that's a relief

G                          A
And we're countin' our blessings
Bm                E7
And prayin' for more
G          A           G D/F# Em D

D                        F#m
Now we're pettin' our puppies
G                   A
And clearin' the trees
D                     F#m
And we're ridin' and ropin'
G                  A
And droppin' our "g's"

G                        A
And the world on the outside
Bm             E7
Is hard to ignore
(But we manage)
G         A           G D/F# Em D

And all is calm
G          D
All is bright
A
So pound the piano
     G              A
And sing "Silent Night"

D                    F#m
The lights are a-blazin'
G                    A
And loved ones are near
D                      F#m
And bad things don't happen
G              A
In my hemisphere

G                 A
So pass me a pretzel
Bm                        E7
And, "Hey, what's the score?"
G           A           G D/F# Em D

And all are calm
G                D
And some are bright
A                       G           A
And days are merry and airy and white
       D                 F#7
And I'm proud of my country
      G           E7/G#
Where I gotta right
A             Bbdim7    Bm
To sleep in Heavenly Peace

D                     F#m
The world's full of people
G                      A
Who aren't so well blessed
D                        F#m
We say "Let 'em eat fruitcake
G                    A
And God Bless the West"

G                        A
And it's two weeks vacation
Bm                E7
Then back to the war
G          A           G D/F# Em D

G                   A
And we clear the table
Bm                      E7
Like a wave clears the shore
G           A           G D/F# Em D
