North Pole Bank by Orla Gartland
North Pole Bank
I will put in two different versions the first is the chord/strumming version without
the little flicks in the start. Orla states that it's capo 4 and
Chorus: C-G-Am-F
Every other part: Am-C-F-G
I think this sound pretty accurate:
Capo 3

Where will he get those toys
For all them girls and boys
What is there for Santa Clause to do
Hes feeling helpless now
The cause of many a row
These hard financial times affect him too
The elves had had enough
Less than minimum wage is tough
So saint nick had sent them on their way
With no one to assist,
Bills longer than the naughty list (#END OF FINGERSTYLE#)
G F (let ring)
How on earth would poor Santa Clause pay
E
Children all over the world, all countries, all races
F
Wake up demember 25th with disappointed faces
E
None of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through
F
Underneath the Christmas tree is an I.O.U
---Chorus---
C/G G
Spare a thought for Santa Clause this year
Am
Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low
F
Its pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer
C/G
Hes trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters
G
Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank
Am

F
but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank
