In The Absence Of Christmas

• Em

Intro: 



Em                          C 
Sitting in the living room, staring at the decorations 
D                        C 
Feels so out of place in this house 
Em                         C 
Sucking on a toffee apple, munching on some pumpkin pie 
D                        C 
Seems so out of place in his mouth 
Em                   C                   D                  C  
Such incongruous cuisine, he eats a tangerine to clean his palate 
Em                           C                        D 
Someone get that man a mince pie, before he starts to cry 
                     C 
Ding dong merrily on high 

C                     D            G 
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? 
D        C 
Oh, woah oh 
C                     D            Em 
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? 

Em            
Trick or treaters come a-knocking 
C                              D                    C 
At Saint Nicholas' door, but he ain't got no candy for them 
Em                               C 
Trick or treaters getting angry, throwing eggs at Santa's door 
       D                                  C 
But he tells them they'll be sorry come December 24  
Em                                  C 
This holiday, it makes no sense, no Gold no Myrrh no Frankincense 
D                            C 
Baby Jesus would be taking offence 
Em                       C                    D 
Santa's slouching by the fire in his jovial attire 
                                                   C 
He collapses to his knees, won't somebody help him - please? 

C                     D            G 
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? 
D        C 
Oh, woah oh 
C                     D            Em 
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? 
C                     D            G 
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? 
D        C 
Oh, woah oh 
C                     D            Em 
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? 

       C                               D 
And he lights a Jack-o-lantern, and he throws it in the road 
        G                                 C  
And the kids all start a-screaming as the lantern does explode 
        C                                 D 
But the parents of those kiddies hold old Santa to the ground 
          G                                 C     
Now Saint Nick is quite surrounded and Halloween is safe and sound 

    C                     D            G 
Oh, what does Santa Claus do for Halloween? 
D        C 
Oh, woah oh 
C                     D            Em 
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
