    A                         D                A
The girl at the grocery she's pretty and seems nice

    A                               E
But she looks right through me with eyes cold as ice

A                      D         A
She never answers when I ask her name

A                      E            A
She only says I should have a great day

  ...day         But hey...
[chorus]
    D              A
But hey what could she mean by that

   E                     A     G  D    E
Perhaps I'm the fool she takes me for

             A     (4 measures)
Not anything more

  A                         D           A
I guess it's the season the time of the year

     A                        E
When people they're happy and full of good cheer

     A                                 D         A
Well they'll wish you and kiss you and wish you again

            A                            E           A
And they'll tell you it's peace and good will to all men
[chorus 2]
    D              A
But hey what could they mean by that

   E                      A    G  D    E
Perhaps I'm the fool they take me for
A (4 measures) Not anything more
   A                      D           A
We stood at the altar and you held my hand

    A                       E
And everyone watched as the preacher he asked

         A                         D           A
Will you take him and love him for bad and for good

A                         E            A
You looked at me then you told him you would
[chorus 3]
    D            A
But hey what did you mean by that

   E                     A    G  D    E
Perhaps I'm the fool you take me for

             A     (4 measures)
Not anything more
[verse]
    A                        D         A
Now each Christmas morning I sit in my chair

           A                     E
And I look up at the angels that float through the air

     A                       D          A
Some look down upon me, some come to my side

         A                     E           A
And they tell me that Jesus he said to say hi
