Ugly Sweater Blues

E E E E

[Verse 1]
E
Mama don’t make me wear that old thing again


E
Hand-knitted Christmas trees and a silly snowman
                 B7
No matter if I refuse
                        E
I got them ugly sweater blues


[Verse 2]
E
Mama why can’t you see I feel like a fool
E
Green elves with snowflakes and scratchy alpaca wool
                    B7
Maybe you heard the news
                        E
I got them ugly sweater blues



[Chorus 1]
  A                                             E
Another year, another sweater and another holiday soiree
     A
Mama hears the people laughin’

While the presents are unwrappin’
          B7
And she’s not even sorry



[Verse 3]
E
Mama don’t make me wear that old thing again
E
Bright red with sleigh bells and a gingerbread man
                     B7
Corduroys and pointy shoes
                       E
I got the ugly sweater blues

[Chorus 2]
A
Driving to Atlanta for an interview with Santa
      E
I can hear him say
A
Hey that kid is back again, dig that ugly cardigan
   B7
Oh what a shame


[Verse 4]
E
Mama don’t make me wear that old thing again
E
Hand-knitted Christmas trees and a silly snowman
                 B7
No matter if I refuse
                        E
I got them ugly sweater blues
                 B7
Done paid all my dues
                              E       Am     E
I’m singin’ them ugly sweater blues
