I made some notes at the end regarding the instrumental interlude.
Suggestions welcome. I don't know what anyone is singing at the end.
You went Dlooking for shelter...in Call the wrong spaces
You grew Ggluttonous and famous...with Afaces
GNameless and blank, F#msuperstitiously you name them
St. EmChristopher and Johanna, St. F#mChristopher and Johanna
St. GChristopher and Johanna A
OverDcome with the holiday spirit
CMark says the herald angels won't hear it
And reGmember, the wolves that you run with are wolves
Don't forAget
They Gexist to give you something to regret, I'll be there F#mtoo
with something Emsadder than that brass portrait
which shines through your F#mmorning, dim.
Something Emsadder than that brass portrait
which shines through your F#mmorning, dim
I'll give you Dsomething to be sad about
Hey, the Cpicture really capture your mouth
Poised to F#msay: It's your turn to go down now,
it's Gyour turn to go down now
A It's your turn to go down now.
It's Gyour turn to go down now...in the spirit of giving
D Dmaj7 D7 A7* x3 (*see below)
in
GCloud prayer Mary, come Dah----Aon? etc
Notes:
*Asterisked chords aren't really chords, just a chromatic riff.
*But you can play G and A7 and get away with it, I think.
I think this is what the guitar plays. The note in parenthesis is just
meant to be a glimpse of where the repeat it going.

The last time a guitar does something like this at the G-A7 spot
(note I changed it to G-D7 here) leading into the G D A part.
