The Thanksgiving Filter Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

[INTRO]
[Em] [G] [C] [G] x 2

[Em]Grandmother's w[G]heelchair is s[C]itting in the [G]corner
[Em]We all sure lov[G]e her but the [C]little ones av[G]oid her
Cause she's g[Em]ray-haired and wr[G]inkled, and he[C]r burden looks [G]heavy
Ninety [Em]years of s[G]urvival can l[C]ook awful [G]scary

Repeat intro X 1

[Em]Papa's building s[G]omething and h[C]as since h[G]istory
[Em]But what he's b[G]uilding is s[C]till a my[G]stery
It's [Em]big and it's t[G]wisting, and [C]shaped con[G]voluted
It [Em]don't have a f[G]unction but yo[C]u better salut[G]e it
And it will[Em] never be [G]finished but [C]I guess that's th[G]e point
It just [Em]gives him a f[G]ilter and psycho[C]logical o[G]intment
He [Em]woke up real [G]early but he's [C]late for his a[G]ppointment
[Em]And I sure [G]wish that I had [C]smoked me a [G]joint

[CHORUS]
It's [D]Thanksg[C]iving and [G]Jesus, I'm [Em]thankful
For a[D]bundance and [C]bounty, and a [G]big tall stiff [Em]drink full
The l[D]ove of Your [C]mama and the [G]love of mine [Em]too
[C]Thanksgiving is [G]over and [D]Christmas is [G]soon

Repeat intro X 2

[Em]Mama is t[G]rying to l[C]ive in the [G]present
Don't [Em]let him have a [G]heart attack before I [C]pay off(open the) the [G]presents
[Em]Granddaddy's g[G]one but she s[C]till feels his [G]presence
[Em]He tried to [G]call but he [C]didn't leave a [G]message

[CHORUS]
It's [D]Thanks[C]giving and J[G]esus, I'm t[Em]hankful
For a[D]bundance and [C]bounty, and a [G]big tall stiff d[Em]rink full
The l[D]ove of Your m[C]ama and the l[G]ove of mine t[Em]oo
[C]Thanksgiving is [G]over and C[D]hristmas is [G]soon

Repeat intro X 2

So put the[Em] food on the [G]table and P[C]apa says a b[G]lessing
They're [Em]cutting up some[G] turkey and [C]gobbling some [G]dressing
My [Em]aunt's praising [G]Palin and my [C]niece loves [G]Obama
My [Em]uncle came to [G]dinner w[C]earing his pa[G]jamas
Thank [Em]God for the [G]filter that [C]enables some [G]distance
From the [Em]screaming and [G]crying, and the [C]needs of a[G]ssistance
You [Em]wonder why I [G]drink and c[C]urse the hol[G]idays
[Em]Blessed be my [G]family 300 [C]miles aw[G]ay

[D] [C] [G] [Em] X 4

[CHORUS]
It's [D]Thanksg[C]iving and [G]Jesus, I'm tha[Em]nkful
For a[D]bundance and b[C]ounty, and a [G]big tall stiff d[Em]rink full
The l[D]ove of Your [C]mama and the l[G]ove of mine t[Em]oo
[C]Thanksgiving is [G]over and [D]Christmas is [G]soon
It's [D]Thanksg[C]iving, [G]Jesus, I'm th[Em]ankful
For a[D]bundance and [C]bounty, and a [G]big tall stiff [Em]drink full
The l[D]ove of Your [C]mama and the [G]love of mine [Em]too
[C]Thanksgiving is [G]over and C[D]hristmas is [G]soon
[C]Thanksgiving is [G]over and C[D]hristmas is [G]soon
[C]Thanksgiving is [G]over and C[D]hristmas is [G]soon
