Intro
D
[Verse 1]
F#7 D
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
G Em
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
G6 Em
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
A D/A A D
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
F#7 D
He took his teacup and he found a seat
G Em
He stretched his legs across that busy street
G6 Em
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
A D/A A D
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
A G D E
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
A
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
D A C#7 F#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
D A C#7 F#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
D A C#7 F#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Bm E D
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
F#7 D
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
G D Em
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
G6 Em
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
A D/A A D
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
F#7 D
He heard the brass band playing on the street
G D Em
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
G6 Em
And the way the woman stared down at his hands and at his feet
A D/A A D
Well, that took some beating
[Pre-Chorus]
A G D E
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
A
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
D A C#7 F#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
D A C#7 F#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
D A C#7 F#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Bm E
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
A E/G# A E/G#
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
A E/G# A E/G#
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
C B
But all he found was a loneliness, and he felt like such a stranger
E A
He said, "Everything's the wrong way round"
[Interlude]
D A A/C B Em D A D A D
[Verse 5]
F#7 D
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
G Em
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
G6 Em
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
A D/A A D
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
F#7 D
B woman touched him once and then again
G Em
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
G6 Em
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
A D/A A D
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
F#7 D
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
G Em
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
G6 Em
He saw his image frozen on a cross
A D/A A D
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
F#7 D
Children playing by a tiny lake
G Em
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
G6 Em
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
A D/A A D
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
A G D E
There's no such thing as Christmas day
A
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
D A C#7 F#m
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
D A C#7 F#m
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
D A C#7 F#m
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
Bm E
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
