McCarthy Trenching cover! Great holiday song. Can definitely play around with E, Em, and E7, as well as C/B or C/G to make it your own. Cheers! [Intro] C G C Am C7 F F C E7 F C C7/G F C
C       G            C
Comin' back from the country

        Am            C7/G  F
For the good food and lousy beer

     F           C           E7            F
This winter's so dry and the dirt road so dusty

       C        G       F                       C
At the merest fall of rain, the bacteria bloom
[Chorus]
          F           C    C/B   C
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome

        C    Em F
It's so easy to forget

    F              C              Em               F
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window

         C            G          C
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it
[Instrumental] C G C C C7/G F [Verse 2]
C        G    C               Am    C7/G      F
Tethered to a table with that happy holiday crowd

         F       C
And it's anchors aweigh

E7                 F
Looks like smooth sailin'

        C      G       F                       C
But the merest hint of waves could capsize you
[Chorus]
          F           C     C/B   C
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome

        C    Em F
It's so easy to forget

    F               C              Em                 F
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window

         C            G          C
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it
[Bridge]
       G             C
The desire for annihilation

      C         C7/Bb      F/A
Is as common as it is unkind

         F                         C
And it's hard to recognize the situation

            G                  F
When you're desperately tryin' to have a good time
[Chorus]
          F*           C    C/B   C
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome

        C    Em Am
It's easy to forget

    F              C               Em                F
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window

         C            G7         C
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it
[Outro]
           G
Yeah, it's Christmas

              F*
So no one can fix it
