Intro
B
[Verse 1]
D#7 B
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
E C#m
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
E6 C#m
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
F# B/F# F# B
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
D#7 B
He took his teacup and he found a seat
E C#m
He stretched his legs across that busy street
E6 C#m
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
F# B/F# F# B
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E B C#
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
F#
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
B F# A#7 D#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
B F# A#7 D#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
B F# A#7 D#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
G#m C# B
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
D#7 B
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
E B C#m
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
E6 C#m
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
F# B/F# F# B
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
D#7 B
He heard the brass band playing on the street
E B C#m
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
E6 C#m
And the way the woman stared down at his hands and at his feet
F# B/F# F# B
Well, that took some beating
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E B C#
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
F#
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
B F# A#7 D#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
B F# A#7 D#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
B F# A#7 D#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
G#m C#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
F# C#/F F# C#/F
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
F# C#/F F# C#/F
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
A G#
But all he found was a loneliness, and he felt like such a stranger
C# F#
He said, "Everything's the wrong way round"
[Interlude]
B F# F#/A G# C#m B F# B F# B
[Verse 5]
D#7 B
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
E C#m
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
E6 C#m
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
F# B/F# F# B
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
D#7 B
G# woman touched him once and then again
E C#m
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
E6 C#m
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
F# B/F# F# B
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
D#7 B
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
E C#m
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
E6 C#m
He saw his image frozen on a cross
F# B/F# F# B
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
D#7 B
Children playing by a tiny lake
E C#m
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
E6 C#m
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
F# B/F# F# B
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E B C#
There's no such thing as Christmas day
F#
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
B F# A#7 D#m
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
B F# A#7 D#m
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
B F# A#7 D#m
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
G#m C#
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
B F# F#/A G# C#m B F# B F# (2x)
