Capo on third fret

[Verse 1]
C              F           Am 
Candy Cane was happy for a long time
Am/F#     F              F/G      C
Crouching down, hide-and-seek, 1968
C              F           Am 
Candy Cane was happy for a long time
Am/F#       F             F/G                 C
The doctors came and they said, “Things might change”.
           F
He’s got a messed up spine
F/G
Raise your glass to


[Chorus]
C     E7      Am                Em 
Candy Cane, I can’t explain the way I feel
         F
When you look at me
          C       Dm7/G
With your big sad eyes.


[Verse 2]
C              F           Am  
Candy Cane was happy for a long time
Am/F# F           F/G     C
Got a home of his own, 1981
C              F              Am  
Candy Cane was out there on a good day
Am/F#  F                   F/G               C
In the park with his shirt off and his radio on
           F
He’s got a messed up spine
F/G
Raise your glass to


[Chorus]
C     E7      Am                Em 
Candy Cane, I can’t explain the way I feel
         F
When you look at me
          C       Dm7/G
With your big sad eyes.


[Bridge]
         Fmaj7 C
Shopping trip
             Fmaj7 C
Torn plastic bag
    Fmaj7
The saddest thing you’ve ever seen
F
Broken jar of jam
F/G
Lend a hand to
 
[Chorus]
C     E7      Am                Em 
Candy Cane, I can’t explain the way I feel
         F
When you look at me
          C       Dm7/G
With your big sad eyes.
C  Em F9 Bb7b9 Fmaj7            Cmaj7 
Candy Cane, I can’t explain the way I feel
         F
When you look at me
          C       Dm7/G
With your big sad eyes.
 

[Verse 3]
C              F           Am  
Candy Cane was happy for a long time.
