Intro
C
[Verse 1]
E7 C
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
F Dm
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
F6 Dm
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
G C/G G C
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
E7 C
He took his teacup and he found a seat
F Dm
He stretched his legs across that busy street
F6 Dm
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
G C/G G C
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
G F C D
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
G
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
C G B7 Em
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
C G B7 Em
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
C G B7 Em
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Am D C
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
E7 C
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
F C Dm
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
F6 Dm
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
G C/G G C
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
E7 C
He heard the brass band playing on the street
F C Dm
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
F6 Dm
And the way the woman stared down at his hands and at his feet
G C/G G C
Well, that took some beating
[Pre-Chorus]
G F C D
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
G
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
C G B7 Em
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
C G B7 Em
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
C G B7 Em
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Am D
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
G D/F# G D/F#
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
G D/F# G D/F#
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
A# A
But all he found was a loneliness, and he felt like such a stranger
D G
He said, "Everything's the wrong way round"
[Interlude]
C G G/A# A Dm C G C G C
[Verse 5]
E7 C
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
F Dm
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
F6 Dm
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
G C/G G C
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
E7 C
A woman touched him once and then again
F Dm
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
F6 Dm
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
G C/G G C
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
E7 C
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
F Dm
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
F6 Dm
He saw his image frozen on a cross
G C/G G C
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
E7 C
Children playing by a tiny lake
F Dm
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
F6 Dm
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
G C/G G C
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
G F C D
There's no such thing as Christmas day
G
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
C G B7 Em
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
C G B7 Em
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
C G B7 Em
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
Am D
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
C G G/A# A Dm C G C G (2x)
