{c:To the tune of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"}

Let's [C]have our-[Am]selves a [Dm]poignant Festi-[G7]vus
[C] Erect the [Am]metal [Dm]pole [G7]
Ad-[C]mire it's [Am]high [Dm]strength to weight [G7]ra-t--[E7]--io [A7] [D7] [G7]
. . . .
[C]Have your-[Am]self a [Dm]poignant Festi-[G7]vus
[C] The pole stands [Am]all a-[Dm]lone- [G7]
[C]There's no [Am]need for [Dm]tinsel, gifts, or [G7]pretty [E7]bows [A7] [D7] [G7]
. . . .
[C]Gather [Am]'round let's [Dm]share a noisy [G7]meal
[C] Talk and [Am]laugh at [Dm]length [G7]
[C]Later [Am]on we'll [Dm]all engage in [G7]feats of [E7]strength [A7] [D7] [G7]
{sob}
[F]Festivus comes just [Em]once a year
That is [Dm]why we're [G7]here once [Cmaj7]more
It's a [Am]golden oppor-[B7]tunity to air our
[Em]grie-[G]van-[Am]ces ga-[Dm]lore- [G7]
{eob}
[C]Festi-[Am]vus might [Dm]last until the [G7]wee hours
[C] Let's have a-[Am]nother [Dm]toast [G7]
[C]Some one [Am]will e-[Dm]ventually pin [G7]our- [E7]host [A7] [D7] [G7]

So let's [F]have ourselves a [Dm]poignant little [G7]Festi-[C]vus
