Apparently you can't write lyrics on OLGA anymore, so I've just written
a few words to get you started on each verse. You'll have to watch the
video for the lyrics.

I've checked around, and I can't find another version of this song, so
I'm thinking that this may be the only transcription on the OLGA.

Here are the chords for "Let's Have A Patrick Swayze Christmas" from
the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode "Santa Claus Conquers The
Martians." Joel, Crow, and Servo perform this song during one of the
live-action sequences. It's based on Crow's favorite movie "Roadhouse."
It's one of the funniest bits they've ever done, and one of my favorite
silly Christmas tunes.

Crow says that it's in the key of E flat major, but I find it easier to
play in G. I also like to capo the 2nd fret, but hey, that's just me.

This represents my own interpretation of this song. It's all my own
work. Feel free to make any improvements if you want. borfin@yahoo.com
