Happy New Year chords by Todd Snider

Guitar chords with lyrics

my first posting, love this song but couldn't find it. so here it is, i think its pretty
accurate. You gotta listen to the song to the song to get a good feel. I hate that when
i copy this from one place to another the chords jump to different spots! whats up with that?

1 song, 1 page, everything in place - strive for it!

Todd Snider - Happy New Year

Capo on 5th fret

C                   G
happy new year everybody there's an overweight man with an overweight woman
                               C
on a sofa just watching TV hes yelling his opinion at the television she
                                           D
looks up from her food and agrees they got two bumper stickers on there pick
                                              G
up truck they keep the pick up parked outside one sticker says "what would
                                                         G
jesus do?" the other bumper sticker says "power of pride"  I was thumbing
                                                 C
through the stations on my own television when i come across a guy on the
                           D
religious station singing "somebody's coming" sounding whiter than me
    G                                                               C
somehow, wow, it took me back in time through dwindling joy to when I was
                                      D                      G   C
such a guilt ridden catholic boy, I'm evangelical agnostic now   I don't know
                      D                                    G

                                             C

                    D                                        G
my chest the one my dad told me to and his told him to and I probably pray as
                                                                C

                                                    D
knowing, those are two different things and if your trying to change the way
                                   G
a strangers life will have to go I believe this is where i wanna stick to
                     C                                     D

                 G                                         C
next episode now back to the lecture at hand seems like my neighbor wants to
                                      D
kill what he cant understand I say we cant just kill what we don't understand
      G

            C                                                      D
dawn of man for countless gods whose only real seeming plan was to see to it
                                           G
that clinging to life was our fate and you gotta admit that life’s pretty
