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
