Intro: |A |Aaug||A |Aaug|
Verse 1
A D E
This year has been a little crazy for the Andersons
A D E
You may recall we had some trouble last year
A D E
The robot council had us banished to an asteroid
A D E
That hasn't undermined our holiday cheer.
Pre-chorus 1
F#m/C# Faug/C# A/C# B7
And we know it's almost Christmas by the marks we make on the wall.
E E/F# E7/G#
That's our favorite time of year.
Chorus
A Aaug F#m/A
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
A7 Dmaj7 F#m
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
B7 E
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
D Dm6
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.
Verse 2
A D E
On every corner there's a giant metal Santa Claus,
A D E
Who watches over us with glowing red eyes.
A D E
They carry weapons and they know if you've been bad or good.
A D E
Not everybody's good but everyone tries.
Pre-chorus 2
F#m/C# Faug/C# A/C# B7
And the rocks outside the airlock exude ammonia-scented snow.
E E/F# E7/G#
It's like a Winter Wonderland.
Chorus
A Aaug F#m/A
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
A7 Dmaj7 F#m
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
B7 E
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
D Dm6
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.
Verse 3
A D E
That's all the family news that we're allowed to talk about.
A D E
We really hope you'll come and visit us soon.
A D E
I mean we're literally begging you to visit us.
A D E
And make it quick before they [MESSAGE REDACTED].
Pre-chorus 3
F#m/C# Faug/C# A/C# B7
Now it's time for Christmas dinner - I think the robots sent us a pie!
E E/F# E7/G#
You know I love my soylent green.
Chorus
A Aaug F#m/A
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
A7 Dmaj7 F#m
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
