[Verse]
GThe holidays were upon us
CAnd things were going fine
GTil the day I heard the doorbell
      A.                D  
And a chill ran up my spine
I gGrabbed the wife and children
As the Cpostman wheeled it in
A yeGarly Christmas nightmare
      A.            D  
Has just come back again
[Chorus]
It was Gharder than the head of Uncle Bucky
HeaCvy as a sermon of Preacher Lucky
OneG's enough to get the whole state of
              A.             D  
Kentucky a great big belly ache
It was denGser than a trove of barnyard turkeys
TougCher than a truckload of all beef jerky
DriGer than a drought in Albuquerque
GrandmAa's killer fruiDtcake
[Verse]
Now, I Ghad to swallow some marginal fare
At Cour famiy feast
I evGen downed Aunt Possum Pie
           A.              D  
Just to keep the family peace
I winGced at Wilma's Gizzard Mousse
But sCaid it tasted fine
But, thaGt lethal weapon Grandma baked
      A.              D  
Is where I drawn the line
[Chorus]
It was haGrder than the head of Uncle Bucky
HeavCy as a sermon of Preacher Lucky
OneG's enough to get the whole state of
                A.          D  
Kentucky a great big belly ache
It was dGenser than a trove of barnyard turkeys
TouCgher than a truckload of all beef jerky
DriGer than a drought in Albuquerque
GranAdma's killer fruitDcakE
[Outro]
It'Gs early Christmas Morning The phCone rings us awake
                                   G   A.              D  
It's granma pa she wants to know  How'd we like her cake
    G.                                     C  
Well grandma, I nevcer, Uh we couldn't, It was unbeliveable thats for shure

[Verse]

The holidays were upon us

And things were going fine

Til the day I heard the doorbell

A D

And a chill ran up my spine

I grabbed the wife and children

As the postman wheeled it in

A yearly Christmas nightmare

A D

Has just come back again

[Chorus]

It was harder than the head of Uncle Bucky

Heavy as a sermon of Preacher Lucky

One's enough to get the whole state of

A D

Kentucky a great big belly ache

It was denser than a trove of barnyard turkeys

Tougher than a truckload of all beef jerky

Drier than a drought in Albuquerque

A D

Grandma's killer fruitcake

[Verse]

Now, I had to swallow some marginal fare

At our famiy feast

I even downed Aunt Possum Pie

A D

Just to keep the family peace

I winced at Wilma's Gizzard Mousse

But said it tasted fine

But, that lethal weapon Grandma baked

A D

Is where I drawn the line

[Chorus]

It was harder than the head of Uncle Bucky

Heavy as a sermon of Preacher Lucky

One's enough to get the whole state of

A D

Kentucky a great big belly ache

It was denser than a trove of barnyard turkeys

Tougher than a truckload of all beef jerky

Drier than a drought in Albuquerque

A D

Grandma's killer fruitcakE

[Outro]
