Alright, so in the last 12 mondays, I've given you 11 original songs. Today is number eleven! I have to admit that when I woke up this morning and remembered that it was #MusicMonday on Twitter, I got a little frightened. I didn't really have an idea of what song I was going to do for you and then suddenly one popped right in my brain. I think this might be my first #MusicMonday original song that was actually written on the day I posted it. So... that's fun, right?
There just aren't enough Xmas drinking songs, either, so maybe I can be the guy that fills that little niche. Also, unlike my other original song posts, I'm actually giving you the chords for this one. Usually I just promise to do it and then promptly forget. So, check out the chords below the video if you are interested. I'm not 100% married to this arrangement yet and it prolly needs another verse, but who has time to polish, right? I'm too busy make the rough outlines of songs.
Santa Claus Needed a Drink
by Ukulele Guy
C&P Ukulele Guy 2009
Am
well I stayed up real late
G
on Christmas Eve this year
Am
I was waiting for Santa
C7 G7
cause I didn't believe that he was real
Am
So it came as a bit of a shock
G
when he walked through my front door
A C G
moaning nobody believes in me no more
G7
yup Santa Claus needed a drink
Am
well who was I to stop him
C7
so we grabbed a bottle of bourbon
G
and we drank til we hit the bottom
G7
so don't be surprised on Christmas day
A9 0102
if your presents don't appear
A C G
see Santa Claus is pretty damn hungover this year
Am
Well I slept in a little late
G
on the morning of the day of Xmas
Am
there were daggers behind my eyes
C7 G7
and I could barely keep down my breakfast
Am
I clutched my head and stumbled around
G
just trying to remain upright
A C G
when I tripped over Santa Claus, I guess he the spent the night
G7
yup Santa Claus needed a drink
Am
well who was I to stop him
C7
so we grabbed a bottle of bourbon
G
and we drank til we hit the bottom
G7
so don't be surprised on Christmas day
A9
if your presents don't appear
A C G
see Santa Claus got pretty freaking hammered this year
