And now, here's American Authors performing one of my favorite songs
C G D
By Run-D.M.C., "Christmas in Hollis"
[Verse 1]
G D
It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark
Em C
When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park
G
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
C
Looked at his dog, oh my God, a ill reindeer
G D
And then I was illin' 'cause the man had a beard
Em D
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared
C G
So I turned my head a second and the man was gone
D
But he left his drivers' wallet smack dead on the lawn
G D
I picked the wallet up and I took a pause
Em D
'Cause the license, it cold said "Santa Claus"
C Bm
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's
D
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
G D
But I'd never steal from Santa, 'cause that ain't right
C D
So I was going home to mail it back to him that night
C G
But when I got home I bugged, 'cause under the tree
D G
Was a letter from Santa and the dough was for me, well
D Em
Fa, la la la la
C G
Fa, la la la la
D Em
Fa, la la la la
[Verse 2]
D G D
Well, It's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens
C D
Mom's cookin' chicken and collard greens
C G
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
D
And Santa put gifts under the Christmas trees
G GM7
Decorate the house with lights at night
D Em D
Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright
C G
In the fireplace is the old yule log
D
Beneath the mistletoe as we drink eggnog
G D
The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's
C D
But each and every year we bust Christmas carols
C G
Fa, la la la la
