Misc Television – Saturday Night Live - The Christmas Candle (Guitar)

B                  E
Everyone knows the story

                       C#m
Of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ

                B
But this is the story

E                        F#
Of another more powerful Christmas savior

    B
The snow's falling down

              E
It’s Christmastime again

                     B
A woman has to get a gift

                 C#m7       F#
For some girl at work named Jen

    B
She doesn't know what Jen likes

                      E
And she doesn't super care

                     B
So she goes inside a closet

        C#m                F#m
Just to see what crap’s in there

E                      G#m
In darkness, there's a light

A
Then suddenly she sees the Christmas

F#
savior's here tonight

C#
It's a candle

  F#          G#
A plain peach candle

          C#                           F#
It's been sitting by a bike pump for a year

G#
(For a year)

    A#m
She takes the candle

              D#7
Dusts off the candle

     F#                                 B       C#
Then wraps it up for Jen and just says, "Here."

                E
In foggy London town

                      B
Two acquaintances are having tea

         C#m            F#
When one puts a present down

    B
The other says, "Wait, what?

                              E
"I mean, I got you something, too."

                  B
Then she rummages inside her purse

         C#m               F#
For some garbage that will do

  E                  G#m
A hand, it settles on

A
Something that she just had gotten

F#
from her boyfriend's mom

C#
It's the candle

     F#         G#
That same peach candle

   C#                                 F#
Regifted 'round the world in just one day

              G#
(Just one day)

   A#m
Oh thank you, candle

             D#
The one true candle

   F#                            B    C#
The candle we all get, then give away

Amaj7                           G#m7              C#
When you give a candle, that is all that you need

      Amaj7                         G#m7        C#
Don’t pair it with a lotion or some lame little cream

  Amaj7                             G#m         C#
A lot of people think two gifts are better than one

    Dmaj7                          G#
But that just makes each gift seem smaller and dumb

   D#
So just give the candle

      G#            A#
Don't overthink the candle

     D#                           G#       A#
It’s passed to every single woman and most gays

   Cm
We all get the candle

   Cm
We all give the candle

    Cm
That nine-dollar candle

     G#m
That almost rude candle

      D#            A#
We're joined by the candle

                                       D#
It's the gift of having a gift to give away

    Fm                       A#sus4   D#
The gift of having a gift to give away

D#
Thank you, candle
