Christmas In The Big House

They Might Be Giants


Tom: C

  C


[Chorus]
 C
Christmas in the big house
     Dm               G
For smoking rubber cigars
      Dm                G
And driving somebody's car
  C    Em
Away
    C
Tonight I'm in the bucket (tonight he's in the bucket)
         Dm               G
Making friends with the guard (Merry Christmas)
       Dm                  G
And playing a song on the bars (Merry Christmas)
         C   Em
With a spoon


[Verse 1]
     C
And I'm looking out
         Em
Of the window, I can see
          F
All the chimneys on the houses
          C            G
And the sleigh in the sky
     C
And I'm breaking out
       Em
I got plans Can't you see?
          F
I'll be digging past the bones
        C               G
In my tunnel then I'll fly


[Chorus]
  C
Christmas in the big house (Christmas in the big house)
     Dm               G
For smoking rubber cigars (Merry Christmas)
      Dm                G
And driving somebody's car (Happy New Year)
  C    Em
Away
    C
Tonight I'm in the bucket (tonight he's in the bucket)
         Dm             G
Begging some guy for a loan (Merry Christmas)
        Dm        G
Hoping I'll be alone (Happy New Year)
      C   Em   G   C
Next year
