[Verse 1]
From [A]early in November to the last week of December
I got money mat[D]ters weighing me down
Oh, the [A]mu sic may be [D]merry,
but it's only tempor[A]ary
I know Santa Claus [D]is comin' to [A]town
In the days I work my [D]day job,
in the nights I work my [A]night
But it all comes down to
[D]workin' man's pay
Gettin' [A]ready, [D]I'm gettin' rea[A]dy
Ready [D]for Christmas [A]Day

[Verse 2]
(Gettin' ready [A]for Christmas
[D]Day)
(And let me [A]tell you, [G]namely,
[A]the[D] un[A]dertaker)
[D](He's getting ready for your
[A]body)
[G](Not only that, [D]the jailer,
[A]he's getting ready for[D] you[A])
(Christmas Day, hmm?)
[D](And not only [A]the jailer,[G] but the[A] lawyer,
the po[D]lice force)

(And I want you to bear it [D]in [A]mind)

[Verse 3]
I got a [A]nephew in Ir[D]aq,
it's his [A]third [D]time [A]back
But it's endin' up the [D]way it began
With [A]the luck of a beginner,
[G]he'll [D]be eatin' [A]turkey dinner
On some mountain top in [D]Pakistan[A]
Gettin' [D]ready[A]
[G]Oh we're get[A]tin' rea[D]dy[A][D]
For the [A]power and the glory
[G]And [D]the story [A]of the Christmas Day[D]

[Verse 4]
[A](Getting ready,
for Christmas)
(Done made it up [D]in [G]your mind that I'm going,
[A]New[G] York, [D]Philad[A]elphia, Chicag[D]o)
[A](I'm going, on a trip, getting ready,
[D]for [A]Christmas Day)
(But when Christmas [D]come,
[A]nob[D]ody knows whe[G]re you[A]'ll be)
(You might ask [D]me,
I may be [A]layin' in [D]some lonesome grave)
[A](Getting ready, for Christ[D]mas

[A]your [D]prayers)
(I'm going and see my relatives
in a distant land)
(Getting ready,
[A]getting ready for [D]Christ[A]mas Day)

[Verse 7]
If I could [A]tell my Mom and Dad that
the things we [D]never [A]had
Never [D]mattered, we were always okay
Getting ready, oh ready
[A]Ready for[D] Christmas Day[A]
[D]Ready, [A]getting rea[D]dy
For [A]the power and the glory
[D]And [A]the story of the Christmas
