[Intro]
Em G C G x 2
Em G C G Grandmother's wheelchair is sitting in the corner Em G C G We all sure love her but the little ones avoid her Em G C G Cause she's gray-haired and wrinkled, and her burden looks heavy Em G C G Ninety years of survival can look awful scary
Repeat intro X 1
Em G C G Papa's building something and has since history Em G C G But what he's building is still a mystery Em G C G It's big and it's twisting, and shaped convoluted Em G C G It don't have a function but you better salute it Em G C G And it will never be finished but I guess that's the point Em G C G It just gives him a filter and psychological ointment Em G C G He woke up real early but he's late for his appointment Em G C G And I sure wish that I had smoked me a joint
[Chorus]
D C G Em It's Thanksgiving and Jesus, I'm thankful D C G Em For abundance and bounty, and a big tall stiff drink full D C G Em The love of Your mama and the love of mine too C G D G Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is soon
Repeat intro X 2
Em G C G Mama is trying to live in the present Em G C G Don't let him have a heart attack before I pay off(open the) the presents Em G C G Granddaddy's gone but she still feels his presence Em G C G He tried to call but he didn't leave a message
[Chorus]
D C G Em It's Thanksgiving and Jesus, I'm thankful D C G Em For abundance and bounty, and a big tall stiff drink full D C G Em The love of Your mama and the love of mine too C G D G Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is soon
Repeat intro X 2
Em G C G So put the food on the table and Papa says a blessing Em G C G They're cutting up some turkey and gobbling some dressing Em G C G My aunt's praising Palin and my niece loves Obama Em G C G My uncle came to dinner wearing his pajamas Em G C G Thank God for the filter that enables some distance Em G C G From the screaming and crying, and the needs of assistance Em G C G You wonder why I drink and curse the holidays Em G C G Blessed be my family 300 miles away
D C G Em X 4
[Chorus]
D C G Em It's Thanksgiving and Jesus, I'm thankful D C G Em For abundance and bounty, and a big tall stiff drink full D C G Em The love of Your mama and the love of mine too C G D G Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is soon D C G Em It's Thanksgiving, Jesus, I'm thankful D C G Em For abundance and bounty, and a big tall stiff drink full D C G Em The love of Your mama and the love of mine too C G D G Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is soon C G D G Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is soon C G D G Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is soon
