Intro

[Verse 1]
F7 C#
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
F# D#m
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
F#6 D#m
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
G# C#/G# G# C#
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
F7 C#
He took his teacup and he found a seat
F# D#m
He stretched his legs across that busy street
F#6 D#m
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# C7 Fm
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
C# G# C7 Fm
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
C# G# C7 Fm
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
A#m D# C#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
F7 C#
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
F# C# D#m
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
F#6 D#m
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
G# C#/G# G# C#
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
F7 C#
He heard the brass band playing on the street
F# C# D#m
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
F#6 D#m
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# C7 Fm
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
C# G# C7 Fm
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
C# G# C7 Fm
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
A#m D#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
G# D#/G G# D#/G
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
G# D#/G G# D#/G
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
Cb 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#/Cb A# D#m C# G# C# G# C#
[Verse 5]
F7 C#
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
F# D#m
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
F#6 D#m
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
G# C#/G# G# C#
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
F7 C#
A# woman touched him once and then again
F# D#m
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
F#6 D#m
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
G# C#/G# G# C#
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
F7 C#
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
F# D#m
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
F#6 D#m
He saw his image frozen on a cross
G# C#/G# G# C#
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
F7 C#
Children playing by a tiny lake
F# D#m
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
F#6 D#m
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# C7 Fm
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
C# G# C7 Fm
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
C# G# C7 Fm
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
A#m D#
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
