Verse 1
   D MajorD      A/C#A/C#     B minorBm          A augmentedA
Some time ago, at Santa's place up in the old North Pole
    E minorEm       B minorBm        E MajorE         A augmentedA
There lived a lump of anthracite whose parents called him Joel
 D MajorD        A augmentedA      B minorBm         F# minorF#m
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal happy as a lump can be
  G+G         D MajorD       G+G        A augmentedA
He just wants to keep Santa warm and make the elves cozy

   D MajorD       A/C#A/C#       B minorBm        A augmentedA
But Santa Claus had other plans for Joel one fateful day
 E minorEm          B minorBm        E MajorE       A augmentedA
"Joel, you're just the lump I need come join me on my sleigh"
 D MajorD        A augmentedA      B minorBm         F# minorF#m
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal heart leapt up with joy,
   G+G        D MajorD      G+G       A augmentedA  B7/D#
I'll soon be Santa's present to a lucky girl or boy

Bridge
    E minorEm          D MajorD   A augmentedA          G+G
 We'll laugh and play together and hold each other tight
  D MajorD             A augmentedA       G+G         D/F#D/F#
 Snuggle under clean white sheets when we go to sleep at night
    E minorEm                D MajorD    A augmentedA        G+G
 Then Santa's elves all laughed at Joel, "you're in for a surprise
     D MajorD             A augmentedA    G+G        D/F#D/F#
 You're not a special Christmas gift you're just a booby prize
    E minorEm           D MajorD    A augmentedA       G+G
 What kid would ever want you? You're filthy as can be
 D MajorD             A augmentedA   G+G
 Now you have to go and live with one who's been naughty"

   D MajorD    G+G  E/G#    A augmentedA   A#dim7A#dim7 B minorBm
 "But I make heat, poor Joel cried and electricity"
         D7/C       A7A7
 "You pollute the air with CO2 and mercury"


Verse 2
 D MajorD        A augmentedA         B minorBm      F# minorF#m
 Joel, Joel, the lump of coal fell down upon his knees
   G+G            D MajorD         G+G        A augmentedA
 "I don't wanna live with a naughty kid don't make me, Santa, please"
   D MajorD        A/C#A/C#        B minorBm         A augmentedA
 But Santa laughed his jolly laugh, "Ho, Ho, you stupid lump
     E minorEm         B minorBm         E MajorE        A augmentedA
 You're just the thing to teach this brat that Santa ain't no chump"

  D MajorD          A/C#A/C#     B minorBm      A augmentedA
 So off they flew and, before he knew Joel was in a sack
   E minorEm         B minorBm        E MajorE        A augmentedA
 He cried and yelled to Santa Claus, "why don't we just go back?"

Bridge
   E minorEm            D MajorD
 And then came Christmas morning
    A augmentedA                  G+G
 And, much to Joel's surprise (Much to Joel's surprise)
   D MajorD               A augmentedA
 He saw a boy with the saddest face
   G+G                D/F#D/F#
 And tears were in his eyes (Tears were in his eyes)
  E minorEm             D MajorD
 He picked Joel up and held him
   A augmentedA                   G+G
 And said, "you can be my friend (Hey man, let's be friends)
   D MajorD              A augmentedA
 I would've liked some presents but
     G+G               D/F#D/F#
 You're what Santa chose to send (Santa chose to send)
    E minorEm              D MajorD
 It's true, I've been a naughty boy
   A augmentedA             G+G
 And maybe that's a sin (Maybe that's a sin)
   D MajorD               A augmentedA   G+G
 If this is how Santa treats the kids, I'm just glad that I'm not him"

Verse 3
 D MajorD        A augmentedA      B minorBm       F# minorF#m
 Joel, Joel, the lump of coal knew what he must do
      G+G        D MajorD    G+G       A augmentedA
 He said, "now I know the reason why I got sent to you
     D MajorD        A/C#A/C#     B minorBm         A augmentedA
 Cause when a person hurts inside it turns him hard and cruel
   E minorEm       B minorBm        E MajorE         A augmentedA
 But I know how to make your pain into a precious jewel"

   D MajorD       A/C#A/C#          B minorBm         A augmentedA
 "So take me in your hand, young man and squeeze with all your might
    E minorEm        B minorBm     E MajorE           A augmentedA
 Let's turn your pain and anger into something that shines bright"
    D MajorD        A augmentedA        B minorBm      F# minorF#m
 Then Joel, Joel, the lump of coal he gave his life away
   G+G         D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
 Oh, one good naughty little boy get a diamond on Christmas day
