Christmas Past Guitar Chords Mark Law Hitchings

[Verse]
D
I thought of going south, with California in my head,
Bm
Somewhere in Mendocino with the girl from Fort Bragg
        G                   A                  G             D
Holding tight to my jacket, things have gotten better than I said.
D
I thought of getting back in school, but thought again instead,
Bm
of Singing songs in bars, and basements for my friends
        G                   A               G           D
But the rains of my Seatle, babe help me to sleep in my bed.

[Chorus]
G             A      G              D
But I want   to sing for short hair in a dress,
G        A          G            D
Guess my plans have Changed some yes.

[Verse]
D
We lost our Indiana to a smiling little boy,
Bm
Who calls him his daddy, though he left us with a void,
       G                    A        G               D
And an empty bar room seat, where we still raise our drinks
D
Now my nights are getting longer and its so damn hard to sleep,
Bm
Except for our Sundays, it's a promise that we keep,
            G         A      G              D
To sleep in later and have a pint before we eat.

[Chorus]
G             A      G              D
But I want   to sing for short hair in a dress,
G        A          G            D
Guess my plans have Changed some yes.

[Verse]
D
I'm trying to relax more to make her cry some less,
Bm
But the hour's getting late 'cause I'm a fucking mess,
       G                          A         G               D
I just want it to mean something, more than anything else I guess,
D
So forgive me when I drink too much, it really is much less,
Bm
But when I wake up so unhappy but refused to stay depressed,
              G            A          G                D
I'm almost to next Sunday, where I'll finally get some rest

[Chorus]
G             A      G              D
But I want   to sing for short hair in a dress,
G        A          G            D
Guess my plans have Changed some yes.
