Tuning: G C E A
You can sub the Oh/Home Chorus chords for the tabbed instrumental break if you don't feel like fingerpicking;
They're shown above the tabs.
I'm unsure about the Chorus being accurate, so am open to suggestions and edits.
[Verse]
CThis hoGtel is cheap
CAnd the Gpillows stink
AmAnd there's not a Gsingle thing
AmTo say it's GChristmas Eve
COh Saint GNicholas
CI know I Gain't in your list
AmBut if you're Glistening
AmI need a Gbus ticket
CI came through GMontreal
CI lost a Glot of dough
AmCould find no Ghonest job
AmSo I did some Gother ones
CGot into Gtrouble and
CI had to Grun or suffer
AmAnd then a Glong road
AmInto a Glong December

AmAgainst her Gapron edge
