     D
It's Christmas at ground zero

                     A
There's music in the air
The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing
                          D
While the air raid sirens blare
It's Christmas at ground zero
                    A
The button has been pressed

                                              D
The radio just let us know that this is not a test

G
Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping
It's the end of all humanity
A
No more time for last minute shopping

B                            A
It's time to meet your final destiny

     D
It's Christmas at ground zero

                     A
There's panic in the crowd
While we dodge debris let's trim the tree
                        D
Underneath the mushroom cloud

G
You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
A
But if someone's climbing down your chimney

B                                     A
You better load your gun and shoot to kill

     D
It's Christmas at ground zero

                            A
And if the radiation levels OK
I'll go out with you and see all the new
                        D
Mutations on New Year's Day
It's Christmas at ground zero
                     A
Just seconds left to go
I'll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover
               D
Underneath the mistletoe
It's Christmas at ground zero
                              A
Now the missiles are on their way
What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
              D
On this jolly holiday

A
What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked

              D
On this jolly holiday
