[Intro]
F x4

[Verse 1]
F
I really like Christmas
           Bb                               F
It’s sentimental I know, but I just really like it
F
I’m, I’m hardly religious
                   Bb                                        F       
I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest
               C                                  C7
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
                                       Bb
To the commercialisation of an ancient religion

To the western-isation of a dead Palestinian
                                             F
Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer
                            C
But I still really like it.

F
I’m looking forward to Christmas
               Bb                      F
Though I’m not expecting a visit from Jesus
                   C     
I’ll be seeing my dad
     C7                    A7           Dm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
           Dm/C                        Bb
They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun
                   C
I’ll be seeing my dad
    C7                     A7          Dm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
         Dm/C                        Bb
They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun.

[Verse 2]
F
I don’t go in for ancient wisdom
           Bb                                                          F
I don’t believe just ’cause ideas are tenacious it means that they’re worthy
F
I get freaked out by churches
             Bb                                                       F
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy
               C                                       
And yes I have all of the usual objections 
               C7                                         Bb
To the mis-education of children who in tax-exempt institutions

Are taught to externalise blame

And to feel ashamed
                                        F
And to judge things as plain right or wrong
                      C
But I quite like the songs.

F
I’m not expecting big presents
             Bb                                                   F
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolates is just fine by me.
                          C
‘Cause I’ll be seeing my dad
    C7                     A7          Dm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
           Dm/C                            Bb
They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun
                   C
I’ll be seeing my dad
   C7                      A7          Dm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
           Dm/C                           Bb
They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun.

[Chorus]
    Bb
And you my baby girl
    F/A
My jetlagged infant daughter
           Gm7
You’ll be handed round the room
        C         Csus4   C
Like a puppy at a primary school
    Bb
And you won't understand
     F/A            
But you will learn some day
      Gm7
That wherever you are and whatever you face
C                           C7              A7           Dm
These are the people who’ll make you feel safe in this world
Dm/C                 Bb
  My sweet blue-eyed girl

[Chorus]
    Bb
And if my baby girl
            F/A
When you’re twenty-one or thirty-one
    Gm7
And Christmas comes around
         C                          Csus4      C
And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
Bb     F/A  Gm7          C   
You’ll know what-ever---- comes
       C7                    A7           Dm
Your brothers and sisters, and me and your mum
        Dm/C                       Bb
Will be waiting for you in the sun
                C     Csus4  C
whenever you come
C7                                                            
Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles
       C7                       A7           Dm
Your grandparents, cousins, and me and your mum
         Dm/C                     Bb    
We’ll be waiting for you in the sun
F/A                    Gm7
drinking white wine in the sun
C                  Bb
Darling, when xmas comes
F/A                             Gm7
We’ll be waiting for you in the sun
F/A                          Bb   
drinking white wine in the sun
F/A                    Gm7
waiting for you in the sun
C                    Bb
waiting for you 

[Interlude]
F/A

Gm7          (C7)
Wa -------iting.

[Outro]
F
I  really like Christmas
           Bb            F
It’s sentimental I know.
