Good King Wenceslas Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]
[G]Good King Wenceslas looked out
[C]On the Feast of [G]Stephen
Sorry I'm late,
I was busy doin' some rewrites
Rewrites?
I've highlighted your parts, now sing along
[G]Santa Claus and all his elves
Are [C]making gifts for [G]Buford
I don't think that's how it goes
No[C]body's askin' [G]you, nerd
Buford, you're completely disrespecting
this classic song
You're ignoring the historical context
[G]King Wenceslas was a great man
You have no idea what this song is about
I know all about this song

[Verse 1]
The [G]words were by an English guy
The [C]music's Scandi[G]navian
Wenceslas was five-foot-six
He [C]kept his face un[G]shaven
Though just a Duke through[Em]out his life
He [C]always ruled so [G]justly
His [D]kingly title [Em]was con[D]ferred
Up[G]on him posthu- [Em]mous [C]ly[G]
Well, I stand corrected,
you seem to have a lot information
But if you know so much about it
Why do you not sing the original song?

[Verse 2]
I like my version better, it's about me
[G]Buford should get lots of gifts
[C]Every Christmas [G]season
When I see presents just for me
It [C]always is so [G]pleasin'
That is why I [Em]changed the words
To [C]make the song more [G]edgy
If [D]you don't like the [Em]way I [D]sing
You'll [G]get a Christmas [Em]wedg [C]ie[G]
Oh, it's lovely, you're a veritable
Oscar Hammerstein the Second
Or, uh, oh, well, at least it's over
