• Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:

G Em C D



Verse :

          G          Em9
(Kate) When I was a girl, just a little girl
      Am            D
I couldn't wait 'til I became a woman
      G        Em9
And I could grow a thatch of curls
       Am               D
A deep, dark forest to keep me warm in this cold world
      G          Em9
Days became weeks, weeks became months
         Am          D
Months turned to years and it was like magic
      G         Em
It grew and grew, the greatest bush
     Am      D
That the kingdom ever knew

Pre-Chorus:
      C
But at the turn of the millennium
 Em
A fever gripped the land
     Am
It was decreed that all the women
     D
Look like  little girls again

Chorus:
           G          Em
But now I'm growing a beard downstairs for Christmas
     C          D
Growing a downstairs beard for you
       G          Em
I'm growing a beard downstairs for Christmas
      C           D           (G)
Growing it big, growing it thick, growin' it for you-hoo-hoo
G         Em
 Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas baby
C           D           (G)
 Merry Christmas
I'm growing it strong and true
G         Em
 Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas baby
C        D
Ding dong, ding dong




Verse :
           G         Em9
(Johann) When I was a boy, just a little boy
    Am           D
I was embarrassed by my body's changes
       G        Em9
But then one day at the local pool
            Am           D
I saw a life guard with hair growing out of his anus
      G                   Em9
I was so impressed, it looked like Tom Selleck's chest
     Am           D
He was so proud as he towelled it down
      G      Em9
I couldn't wait to cultivate
    Am      D
My very own hairy bum gown

Pre-Chorus:
      C
But at the start of the millennium
Em
Spandex gripped the land
   Am
Every back sack and crack was attacked with wax
    D           N.C.
Now I'm growing it back, a gift for you to unwrap

Chorus:
         G          Em
Now I'm growing a beard downstairs for Christmas
       C          D
I'm growing a downstairs beard for you
       G          Em
I'm growing a beard downstairs for Christmas
        C           D           (G)
I'm growing it big, growing it thick, growin' it for you-hoo-hoo
G         Em
 Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas baby
C           D           (G)
 Merry Christmas
I'm growing it strong and true
G         Em
 Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas baby
C        D
Ding dong, ding dong

Bridge:

Em              F#m G
 We'll keep each other warm at night
Am            Bm F       G
 With our jingle bell hairy stalactites
Em              F#m G
 We'll watch each other grow and grow
   Am
I'll stick to you
I'll stick to you
   D
Like velcro

Chorus:
