[Intro]
C#m  A
C#m  C#m
 
[Verse 1]
       C#m                A
When a cold wind blows it chills you
C#m        B      C#m
Chills you to the bone
            A                       C#m
But there's nothing in nature that freezes your heart
     B        A     C#m
Like years of being alone
       A                C#m
It paints you with indifference
       B                C#m
Like a lady paints with rouge
        A                            C#m
And the worst of the worst, the most hated and cursed
       B        A       C#m
Is the one that we call Scrooge (yeah)
  A                   C#m
Unkind as any and the wrath of many
         B  A    C#m
This is Ebenezer Scrooge
 
[Verse 2]
    E              A
Oh, there goes Mr. Humbug
E              A
There goes Mr. Grim
        E                A
If they gave a prize for bein' mean
    E               A
the winner would be him
    A                  E
Oh, Scroogey loves his money
          F#m                 B
'Cause he thinks it gives him power
   E           A             C#m     B        E
If he became a flavor you can bet he would be sour

[Verse 2]
E              A
There goes Mr. Skinflint
E              A
There goes Mr. Greed
     E         A
The undisputed master of
    E           A
The underhanded deed
   A               E
He charges folks a fortune
        F#m             B
For his dark and drafty houses
   E                 A
As poor folk live in misery
     C#m   B        E
It's even worse for mouses
 
[Instrumental]
E    A
B    E
 
[Middle] (3/4 time)
   A          E
He must be so lonely
   B          E
He must be so sad
   A       E
He goes to extremes
      B             E
To convince us he's bad
     A        E         B           E
He's really a victim of fear and of pride
     A               E
Look close and there must be
  C#m          B
a sweet man inside.......Naaaah! eh-eh~!
 
[Verse 3] (4/4 time)
E              A
There goes Mr. Outrage
E              A
There goes Mr. Sneer
   E               A
He has no time for friends or fun
    E                A
His anger makes that clear
      A             E
Don't ask him for a favor
           F#m        B
'Cause his nastiness increases
   E                  A
No crust of bread for those in need
   C#m     B      E
No cheeses for us meeses
 
[Verse 4]
E              A
There goes Mr. Heartless
E              A
There goes Mr. Cruel
   E               A
He never gives, he only takes
   E                A
He lets this hunger rule
   A              E
If bein' mean's a way of life you
F#m          B
practice and rehearse
      E               A
Then all that work is paying off
       C#m        B       E
'Cause Scrooge is getting worse (yeah!)
 
[Outro]
E            A
Every day in every way
C#m        B       E
Scrooge is getting worse
