Tabbet by Daniel Olsen
This tab is as close as I could get it.
I have included some comments in the bottom
with regards to the parts of the song that I
couldn't quite get right. Any help would be
much appreciated.

Verse:
FGCAmDm
I'm a man of reason, and they say "'Tis the season to be jolly"
GCE
But it's folly when you volley for position
FGCAm
Never in existence has there been such a resistance
DmG
To ideas meant to free us
CE
If you could see us, then you'd listen
FGCAm
Toiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages
Dm
There's no union
GCE
We're only through when we out do the competition
Chorus:
FGCE
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
FGC
Make some noise
E
Use your imagination
FGCEDm
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
G
There's a list for who's been
DmCFGC
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
Verse:
FGCAm
A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude
DmGCE
But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
FGCAm
Absurd though it may seem, you know, I've heard there's even been illegal doping
DmGCE
And though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious
FGCAm
You try to start a movement, and you think you see improvement
DmGCE
But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous
Chorus:
FGCE
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
FGC
Make some noise
E
Use your imagination
FGCEDm
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
G
There's a list for who's been
DmCFGC
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
Bridge:
CG
You look at yourself
You're an elf
AmFAm
And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories
CGAm
Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know
CAmC
why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
FGC
Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away
Verse:
FGCAm
We're used to repetition, so we drew up a petition
DmG
We, the undersigned, feel undermined
CE
Let's redefine "employment"
FGCAm
We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage
DmGCE
And sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
FGCAm
It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow
DmGCE
He may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went
Chorus:
FGCE
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
FGC
Make some noise
E
Use your imagination
FGCEDm
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
G
There's a list for who's been
DmCFG
Naughty or nice, but consider the price
DmCFG
Naughty or nice, but consider the price
DmCFGC
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
END!
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having some problems with two places in this
song (both in the bridge section):
AmFAm
And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories
Last chord doesn't sound quite right, but as
close as I could get it. And the next part:
CGAm
Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know
CAmC
why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
The "happy making crappy little gizmos part" part
sounds like its missing something. Please
comment if you have any ideas on how to play this
properly and I'll update the tab.
