CHORUS    Grandma got run over by a reindeer
                                                C
          walking home from our house Christmas Eve
                                               G
          You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
              D                         G
          but as for me and grandpa we believe


          Em                           D
          She'd been drinking too much egg nog
                                   G
          and we warned her not to go
                                 C
          but she forgot her medication
                  D                              G
          and she wandered out the door into the snow


          Em                          D
          When we found her Christmas morning
                                   G
          at the scene of the attack
                                        C
          there were hoof prints on her forehead
                D                             G
          and incriminating claw marks on her back


          G
CHORUS    Grandma got run over by a reindeer
                                                C
          walking home from our house Christmas Eve
                                               G
          You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
              D                         G
          but as for me and grandpa we believe


          Em                          D
          It's not Christmas without grandma
                                      G
          all the family’s dressed in black
                                    C
          and we just cant help but wonder
                    D                              G
          should we open up her gifts or send them back!


CHORUS


          Em                        D
          Now we're all so proud of grandpa
                                   G
          he's been taking this so well
                                    C
          see him in there watching football
                   D                                  G
          drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel


CHORUS


          Em                      D
          Now the goose is on the table
                                  G
          and the pudding made of fig
                                  C
          and the blue and silver candles
                     D                                      G
          that would just have matched the hair in grandmas wig


CHORUS


          Em                             D
          I've warned all my friends and neighbors
                                   G
          better watch out for yourselves
                                   C
          they should never give a license
               D                                      G
          to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves!
