Chorus:
    C
The Christmas tree's on fire,
     F
It's burning down the house
G
Flames are getting higher
      C
And I'm trying to put it out
    C
I'm beating it back with a tube sock
                      F
And a cushion off the couch
                        C
The Christmas tree's on fire,
     G                C
It's burning down the house.

C
  Valentine's Day
   F
My boyfriend's out of town
       G
But he told me before he went last month, He said,
C
Make sure you take it down
   C
He even called last week
                         F
And I told him I took it out.
                            C
Now the Christmas tree's on fire
         G                C
And it's burning down the house, yeah!

The Christmas tree's on fire,

    C
I'm beating it back with a tube sock

Verse 3:
     C
Good thing it ain't been watered,
        F
Since I put it in the stand
      G
And I used a far along battery
        C
For the flashlight in my hand
        C
Now the flames, they're all around me
                          F
And it's bound to take my life
                           C
Which might be a whole lot better
     G                 C
Than having to face my guy, Oh!

The Christmas tree's on fire,

      C
And I'm trying to put it out
    C
I'm beating it back with a tube sock
                      F
And a cushion off the couch
                        C
The Christmas tree's on fire,
         G                C N.C.

Well, we put it up for Jesus
   F N.C.            C N.C.
It stood so tall and true

         G                  F C
And it's takin' me with it, too
