G
You get the hotel, 
Em7
I'll get the box of wine. 
G
No sadder words had been spoken, 
Em7
Since the dawn of time. 
     D        C
When we were young, 
          Am7                Em7
We never think that it will come to this, 
             C            Am7
Because you only get one shot; 
           Em7
I took my shot and missed. 
G
She said "You just keep it still love, 
Em7
I'll get the cameras going". 
G
I'm still amazed at the things I do, 
Em7
To keep my debts from growing. 
      D       C                 Am7         Em7
She says "We've got some sort of symbiotic relationship", 
              C
And for our purposes, 
     Am7              Em7
She says she finds me well equipped. 
G                     Em7
(She's barkin' up my tree), 
       D             C
(And bouncin' on my knee). 
Like some sort of Buddha-baby! 
G               Em7
(She's a talkin' turkey), 
   D          C
(Smokin' my jerky). 
Am7
I guess I'm in the market for what she's hawkin', 
D                                    C
Build some more shelves cause we're gonna keep stockin', 
 Am7                          Em7                        G
We can talk turkey till the turkey starts talkin' to me! 
F               Am7           G
Her stomach's bigger than my eyes! 
(Happy Thanksgiving, baby!) 
F            Am7       
She smothers me inside; 
C             D                  Em7
This time I daren't forget the gravy. 
Em7
G
She says "I'll just freshen up now, 
Em7
I'm expecting some more friends". 
    G
And it's becoming clear to me, 
             Em7
There's more filth around the bend. 
D             C                Am7             Em7
She said I'm too functioning for her kind of internet, 
         C             Am7                    Em7
And she always gets everything that she sets out to get. 
G        Em7
(She's teaching birds and bees), 
D                  C
(And always pushin' me). 
Like a leather monstrosity! 
G
(She's a talkin' turkey), 
Em7
(Smoking the jerky). 
C                             Am7
Better get the door 'cause I hear your friends knocking, 
D                        C         
Turn around sister and just keep walking. 
Am7                         Em7                   G
We can talk turkey till the turkey is talking to me! 
Talking to me! 
F             Am7
She's shaking her thighs! 
G
(You know how to treat a lady), 
F            Am7
She smothers me and dies! 
C              D        Em7
Happy Thanksgiving, baby, 
Happy Thanksgiving, baby, 
Happy Thanksgiving, baby, 
Happy Thanksgiving, baby!
