The Killers - Joel the lump of coal

Some t^Dbime ago, at S^Abanta's place ^BbmUp in the old North ^AbPole There l^Ebmived a lump of a^Bbmnthracite ^EbWhose parents called him ^AbJoel

^DbJoel, Joel, the l^Abump of coal ^BbmHappy as a lump can ^Fmbe He ^Gbjust wants to keep S^Dbanta warm And ^Gbmake the elves co^Abzy

But S^Dbanta Claus had o^Abther plans For J^Bbmoel one fateful ^Abday ^Ebm"Joel, you're just the ^Bbmlump I need Come j^Eboin me on my s^Ableigh”

^DbJoel, Joel, the l^Abump of coal Heart l^Bbmeapt up with jo^Fmy "I'll ^Gbsoon be Santa's p^Dbresent to A l^Gbucky girl or ^Abboy

We'll l^Ebmaugh and play together And ^Abhold each other tight ^DbSnuggle under clean white sheets When we ^Gbgo to sleep at night” Then S^Ebmanta's elves all laughed at Joel "You're ^Abin for a surprise You're ^Dbnot a special Christmas gift You're ^Gbjust a booby prize What ^Ebmkid would ever want you? You're f^Abilthy as can be Now you ^Dbhave to go and live With ^Gbone who's been naughty” "But ^DbI make he^Gbat,” poor Joel c^Abried "And e^Amlectr^Bbmicity” "You pollute the ^Dbair With CO2 and ^Abmercury”

^DbJoel, Joel, the l^Abump of coal Fell ^Bbmdown upon his k^Fmnees "I ^Gbdon't wanna live with a n^Dbaughty kid Don't ^Gbmake me, Santa, ^Abplease”

But ^DbSanta laughed his j^Abolly laugh "Ho, ^Bbmho, you stupid ^Ablump You're ^Ebmjust the thing to t^Bbmeach this brat That S^Ebanta ain't no chump,^Ab Ho ho ho.”

So o^Dbff they flew and, bef^Abore he knew ^BbmJoel was in a ^Absack He c^Ebmried and yelled to ^BbmSanta Claus "Why ^Ebdon't we just go ^Abback?”

And t^Ebmhen came Christmas morning And, ^Abmuch to Joel's surprise (Much to Joel's surprise) He s^Dbaw a boy with the saddest face And ^Gbtears were in his eyes (Tears were in his eyes) He p^Ebmicked Joel up and held him And said "^AbYou can be my friend (Hey man, let's be friends) I ^Dbwould've liked some presents but You're what S^Gbanta chose to send (Santa chose to send) It's ^Ebmtrue, I've been a naughty boy And ^Abmaybe that's a sin (Maybe that's a sin) If t^Dbhis is how Santa treats the kids I'm just g^Gblad that I'm not him”

^DbJoel, Joel, the l^Abump of coal ^BbmKnew what he must ^Fmdo He said "^GbNow I know the r^Dbeason why ^GbI got sent to y^Abou

Cause w^Dbhen a person h^Aburts inside It t^Bbmurns him hard and c^Abruel But ^EbmI know how to ^Bbmmake your pain In^Ebto a precious ^Abjewel So ^Dbtake me in your ^Abhand, young man And s^Bbmqueeze with all your ^Abmight Let's t^Ebmurn your pain and ^Bbmanger Into s^Ebomething that shines b^Abright”

Then ^DbJoel, Joel, the ^Ablump of coal He g^Bbmave his life aw^Fmay So o^Gbne good naughty l^Dbittle boy Found a ^Gbdiamond on Christmas ^Abday
