Snoopy’s Christmas - DJ Pōmare & Kōraunui Ukulele

The Royal Guardsmen 1967. / @djpomare
[C] The news it came out in the [G7] First World War
The bloody Red Baron was [C] flying once more
The Allied Command ignored [F] all of its men
And [G7] called on Snoopy to do it a[C]gain
Twas the night before Christmas and [G7] forty below
When Snoopy went up in [C] search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron and [F] fiercely they fought
With [G7] ice on his wings
Snoopy knew he was [C] caught.
[F] Christmas [G7] bells those [C] Christmas [Am] bells
[F] Ringing [G7] through the [C] land
[F] Asking [G7] peace of [C] all the [Am] world
[F] And good [G7] will to [C] man.
The [C] Baron had Snoopy [G7] dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to [C] pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot well [F] we'll never know
Or [G7] was it the bells from the village be[C]low.
[Chorus]
[C] The Baron made Snoopy [G7] fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the [C] enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that [F] this was the end, when the [G7] Baron cried out Merry Christmas mein friend
[C] The Baron then offered a [G7] holiday toast
And Snoopy our hero sa[C]luted his host
And then with a roar they were [F] both on their way
Each [G7] knowing they'd meet on some other [C] day.
[Chorus x 2][****]
