[Intro]
G D Bm Em A7 D
[Verse 1]
D Old Daddy can't be there for Christmas G I'm sure your Momma told you things A Well first, she never understood me G D But I don't want to talk about that now
[Verse 2]
D Now, Daddy hates to be away from you at Christmas G But don't you worry, I'm doing fine inside A I made you a toothpick Eiffel Tower G D I got three squares and I'm making a kinda wine
[Chorus]
G D This punishment is cruel and unusual A D Well I did my best, but the system said I failed G D Bm Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me Em A7 D There's even Christmas in jail
[Verse 3]
D Well I had a stack of presents for you, darlin' G Though the sheriff took them down to Evidence A Now, I don't want to put this burden on you G D Would you have your mother bring me cigarettes?
[Verse 4]
D You know you're always first in my affection G With good behavior, I'll be out in two A As far as all that money that went missing G D Well it's not for your mother, it's for you (minus expenses)
[Chorus]
G D This punishment is cruel and unusual A D Well I did my best, but the system said I failed G D Bm Don't lie awake and wonder whether Santa visits me Em A7 D There's even Christmas in jail

D Well the Mess Hall's serving turkey tetrazinni G I got my stocking hung up right above the john, yep A From my little window, I can see the starlight G D They're the same old stars that you'll be wishing on
