Stan Rogers – At Last Im Ready For Christmas (Guitar)

     Em             Bm        A         D
Last Boxing Day the wife went out, the "White Sales" for to see

   G                      D                    Bm     Em      A
In trunk-load lots bought half-price paper and tinsel for the tree

  Em               Bm       A         D
I packed it up for use this year in a box I marked so plain

     G                   D     Bm            D          A     D
That stuff would sure be handy now, but it's never been seen again

   D                  G     D         Bm   A            D
At last I'm ready for Christmas; I've even finished the tree

   D                  G     D           Bm          Em    A
At last I'm ready for Christmas, like I thought I'd never be

        Em                   Bm       A          D               G
With my feet propped up by a good hot fire and a matching inside glow

   D                  G     D         Bm         A        D  Em  A
At last I'm ready for Christmas, with nearly two hours to go

   Em                   Bm        A         D
We swore this year we'd start off early, no need to rush around

      G              D                        Bm     Em         A
The intention was to start in August when the prices still were down

           Em               Bm       A            D
But it was dentist-this and new-bike-that and the money melts away

     G               D         Bm        D          A     D
So I had to wait for Christmas bonus and did it all yesterday

   D                  G     D         Bm   A            D
At last I'm ready for Christmas; I've even finished the tree

   D                  G     D           Bm          Em    A
At last I'm ready for Christmas, like I thought I'd never be

        Em                   Bm       A          D               G
With my feet propped up by a good hot fire and a matching inside glow

   D                  G     D         Bm         A        D  Em  A
At last I'm ready for Christmas, with nearly two hours to go

   Em                  Bm           A             D
We must be fools, just look at that pile--you can hardly see the tree

   G                   D                        Bm      Em    A
We said this year we'd keep things simple, then did our usual spree

       Em                 Bm          A          D
But it feels so good when the kids go nuts, it's worth the toil and strain

      G             D          Bm               D        A   D
These kids are only this young once and they'll never be so again

   D                  G     D         Bm   A            D
At last I'm ready for Christmas; I've even finished the tree

   D                  G     D           Bm          Em    A
At last I'm ready for Christmas, like I thought I'd never be

        Em                   Bm       A          D               G
With my feet propped up by a good hot fire and a matching inside glow

   D                  G     D         Bm         A        D
At last I'm ready for Christmas, with nearly two hours to go

        Em                   Bm       A          D               G
With my feet propped up by a good hot fire and a matching inside glow

   D                  G     D         Bm         A        D
At last I'm ready for Christmas, with nearly two hours to go
