verse :

F G C Am Dm
i’m a man of reason , and they say “’tis the season to be jolly”
G C E
but it’s folly when you volley for position
F G C Am
never in existence has there been such a resistance
Dm G
to ideas meant to free us
C E
if you could see us , then you’d listen
F G C Am
toiling through the ages , making toys on garnished wages
Dm
there’s no union
G C E
we’re only through when we out do the competition

chorus :

F G C E
i make toys , but i’ve got aspirations
F G C
make some noise
E
use your imagination
F G C E Dm
girls and boys , before you wish for what you wish for
G
there’s a list for who’s been
Dm C F G C
naughty or nice , but consider the price to an elf

verse :

F G C Am
a full indentured servitude can reflect on one’s attitude
Dm G C E
but that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
F G C Am
absurd though it may seem , you know , i’ve heard there’s even been illegal doping
Dm G C E
and though we’re coping , i just hope it’s not contagious
F G C Am
you try to start a movement , and you think you see improvement
Dm G C E
but when thrown into the moment , we just don’t seem so courageous

chorus :

F G C E
i make toys , but i’ve got aspirations
F G C
make some noise
E
use your imagination
F G C E Dm
girls and boys , before you wish for what you wish for
G
there’s a list for who’s been
Dm C F G C
naughty or nice , but consider the price to an elf

bridge :

C G
you look at yourself

you’re an elf
Am F Am
and the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories
C G Am
trends come and go , and your friends wanna know
C Am C
why you aren’t just happy making crappy little gizmos
F G C
every kid knows they’ll just throw this stuff away

verse :

F G C Am
we’re used to repetition , so we drew up a petition
Dm G
we , the undersigned , feel undermined
C E
let’s redefine “employment”

F G C Am
we know that we’ve got leverage , so we’ll hand the fat man a beverage
Dm G C E
and sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
F G C Am
it may be tough to swallow , but our threats are far from hollow
Dm G C E
he may thunder , but if he blunders , he may wonder where the toys went

chorus :

F G C E
i make toys , but i’ve got aspirations
F G C
make some noise
E
use your imagination
F G C E Dm
girls and boys , before you wish for what you wish for
G
there’s a list for who’s been
Dm C F G
naughty or nice , but consider the price
Dm C F G
naughty or nice , but consider the price
Dm C F G C
naughty or nice , but consider the price to an elf

end!

i’m having some problems with two places in this
song ( both in the bridge section ) :

Am F Am
and the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories

last chord doesn’t sound quite right , but as
close as i could get it . and the next part :

C G Am
trends come and go , and your friends wanna know
C Am C
why you aren’t just happy making crappy little gizmos

the “happy making crappy little gizmos part” part
sounds like its missing something . please
comment if you have any ideas on how to play this
properly and i’ll update the tab .
