Happy New Year  Todd Snider

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]happy new year every[G]body there's an overweight man with an overweight woman
on a sofa just watching TV hes [C]yelling his opinion at the television she
looks up from her food and agrees they got [D]two bumper stickers on there pick
up truck they keep the pick up parked outside [G]one sticker says "what would
jesus do?" the other bumper sticker says "power of pride"[G] I was thumbing
through the stations on my own television when i [C]come across a guy on the
religious station singing "[D]somebody's coming" sounding whiter than me
some[G]how, wow, it took me back in time through dwindling joy to when [C]I was
such a guilt ridden catholic boy, I'm [D]evangelical agnostic no[G]w [C]I don't know
what we're doing here [D]you don't know what were doing here, [G] now Christians
don't walk out on me just yet you know whose [C]name im yelling as im clutching
my chest the one my [D]dad told me to and his told him to and I [G]probably pray as
much or more than you do believe? shit, every word i sing but be[C]lieving and
knowing, those are two different things and if your [D]trying to change the way
a strangers life will have to go I [G]believe this is where i wanna stick to
what i know which is [C]nothing you know, nothing for sure so [D]just chill til the
next episode now [G]back to the lecture at hand seems like my [C]neighbor wants to
kill what he cant understand I say we [D]cant just kill what we don't understand
but I [G]turn on my tv and see that oh yes we can we can and we have since then
dawn of man [C]for countless gods whose only real seeming plan was to [D]see to it
that clinging to life was our fate and you [G]gotta admit that life?s pretty
great,[C] but [D] can we deny that its killing us? [G] i'll be here all week
[C] [G] [C] [G] 
hap[C]py new year everybody happy birthday country joe I resolve to do like i
[G]always do I aint [D]hurtin you
[G]if life is anything its embarrassing a [C]rusty nail through a careless shoe you
[D]can't help but sit around and wonder sometimes why there's [G]never anything the
poor nail can do or think about how unfair it is that the [C]shoe is only going
where it has to too if you [D]ain't the dumb kid out running around you [G]kinda
gotta do what your born to do hey
[C] [G] [C]
