Brett Eldredge – The Night St Nick Got Sick (Guitar)

D   Em    A    D
          Okay

D
Pull up a seat in the frosty snow

Em
I got a story that's got to be told

A
'Bout my trip to the old North Pole

         D
So, hold on tight

D
I got lost up in the evergreens

Em
Most beauty that I ever seen

A
Saw a house that glistened and gleamed

      D
So, I knocked twice

G                 F#7
An old man with a pearly white beard

Bm                E
Opened up smiling ear to ear and said

G                   A
It's about time you made it here

        D
Come on inside

         G                      F#7
He said, I got a sniffle and an achin' head

Bm                    E
Mrs. Claus said Santa get to bed

G
He winked at me and then he said

   A
If you're not busy tonight, could you

D
Put on the suit, in the closet

Em
Say hi to Rudy, say hi to Comet

A7
Take the reins and shake the bells

    D
And you'll be on your way

D
Down the chimney, stick the landing

Em
Try the cookies, drop the presents

A7
I know it's a lot to ask

    D
But would you take my place?

       G             F#7
And my belly grew 12 inches

       Bm                   E7
And my beard grew white and thick

G                A            D
On the night St. Nick got sick

D
He said I looked really fresh in red

Em
Fuzzy hat warming up my head

A
I said, Santa chill, stay in bed

         D
It'll be alright

D
When the sleigh lifted off the ground

Em
I was soarin' fast, town to town

A
Scared of heights, but I still looked down

      D
And I held tight

     G                   F#7
Then Santa called on the jingle line

         Bm                     E7
Said you got this kid, you're doing fine

   G
He thanked me, I said anytime

    A
You need to take a break, I'll

D
Put on the suit, in the closet

Em
Say hi to Rudy, say hi to Comet

A7
Take the reins and shake the bells

    D
And you'll be on your way

D
Down the chimney, stick the landing

Em
Try the cookies, drop the presents

A7
I know it's a lot to ask

    D
But would you take my place?

       G             F#7
And my belly grew 12 inches

       Bm                   E7
And my beard grew white and thick

G                A        D
On the night St. Nick got sick

     G               F#7
Well Santa's back in business now

  Bm                 E
I trimmed the beard, lost the pounds

  G
I swear it's true and I don't know how

    A
But late one Christmas Eve, I got to

D
Put on the suit, in the closet

Em
Said hi to Rudy, said hi to Comet

A
Took the reins and shook the bells

    D
And I was on my way

D
Down the chimney, stuck the landing

Em
Tried the cookies, dropped the presents

A
I had a jolly good time

           D
But no one can take his place

        G                   F#7
And the elves still send me postcards

              Bm           E
That's me and Santa in the pic

G                  A            D
From the night St. Nick got sick

                   Bm       D
From the night St. Nick got sick

D
Don't you worry, it'll be alright
