[Intro]

A D C#m

A D C#m

Their gazes fell upon one succulent spread

A D C#m

Too polite to begin, small talk reigned instead

E F# E C#m

When Arwen quipped that Christmas shouldn’t wait for any elf

E F# E C#m

That the world is ruled by those who can give to themselves

A D C#m

Pippin cried in the old days they used to get in line

A D C#m

You’d all get some grub, maybe a little wine?

E F# E C#m

Rina bellowing that she was so very confused

E F# E C#m

Had the thought police arrived? She was so sweetly amused

[Link 1]

A E/G# F#/A# B

Haga lurches for the turkey's carcass, a chain of events and an elvin fracas

[Verse 1]

C#m

Who is paying anyway? It’s not some bleeding giveaway

C#m

Hold the cranberry, horseradish, go find yourself a beggar's dish

F#

After Cirdan’s broadside, Rohan struts with a carving knife

F#

Callon fights like smites like hell with pigs in blankets on his side

C#m

Freda’s front line, caffeine high and over time, kicking up a fuss while

C#m

Bailey spits into the mash and Logon falls into the punch

F#

Garret is a sickening wreck, never seen a battle of the bulge like this

F#

Cancel me once, cancel me twice, but you cannot cancel me all my life

[Pre-Chorus 1]

A

And then his entrance

E/G#

Don’t make a sound

F#/A#

One lonely cough

B

A little frown

[Chorus 1]

A7 B7 C#m7

Fifty years on in this epic romance

A7 B7 C#m7

You’ve got to let it go and go dance, dance, dance

A7 B7 C#m7

We’ll succumb to self destruction under these circumstances

D C# E/G#

And the big man says you’ve got to give peace a second chance

D C# E/G#

And the big man says you’ve got to give

[Verse 2]

C#m

From the back, a gravy attack, a clique that appears that won't take flack

C#m

Cracker stockpiles are ready to fire, this puddin’ contest is down to the wire

F#

Santa, Lennon, superman, caesar, who do you call when you live in a freezer?

F#

Jack Frost comes and the windows rattle, is he on your side, are you ready for battle?

C#m

Nessa bands merry crew, renouncing dinner, who’s up for stew

C#m

This is the part where we get serious, divide and succour, quite delirious

F#

Feed and succour and ply us with drinks, this new koolaid makes it harder to think

F#

The shame of Kabul, in truth we all share, skating too far and it’s too late to care

[Pre-Chorus 2]

A

And then the dawn

E/G#

Of a new idea

F#/A#

And the big man shudders

B C

Turns upon his rear

[Chorus 2]

A7 B7 C#m7

The big man that I spoke of, well he’s really just a vision

A7 B7 C#m7

The peace that we are craving comes from our own volition

A7 B7 C#m7

Hang up your idols, pedestals, rock gods, godheads, gurus, idols and ubermensch

E F# E/G#

And from you and only you can give peace a second chance
