Capo 1 

Intro: G   D   G 

    G 
It's that time of year when we all get together 
                         D 
And afterwards we wonder why 
           D 
'Cause the later it gets, the drunker we are 
                            G 
Someone always ends up in a fight 
          G 
Well you'd think that a family could try to get along 
                        C 
At least this one day a year 
        D 
But the fact is we can't, we never will 
                              G 
So pass me one more Christmas beer 

G                      C                        G 
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, get drunk and annoy 'em 
    D 
I'm usually the one who tries to hold it together, 
                                        G 
But someone smoked up all my Christmas cheer 
G                 C                             G 
We don't know any better, same thing, different year 
D                                                                                         
                             G 
God bless the family, can't wait 'til it's over, pass me one more Christmas beer 

G   D   G 


   G              D 
Scotty's got GB down in a head-lock, Mike just got decked in the hall 
          D 
Over somethin' 'bout NASCAR and who had the fast car 
                             G 
And who put Junior into that wall 
     G 
Well grandma's bitchin' about men in the kitchen 
                                   C 
It's a good thing my grandpa can't hear 
      D 
I've tried to stay sober, but this party ain't over 
                              G 
So pass me one more Christmas beer 

G                      C                       G 
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, get drunk and annoy 'em

Hallelujah and Happy Holidays, pass me one more Christmas beer
