[Verse 1]
D7 A#
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
D# Cm
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
D#6 Cm
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
F A#/F F A#
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
D7 A#
He took his teacup and he found a seat
D# Cm
He stretched his legs across that busy street
D#6 Cm
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
F A#/F F A#
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
F D# A# C
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
F
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
A# F A7 Dm
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
A# F A7 Dm
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
A# F A7 Dm
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Gm C A#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
D7 A#
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
D# A# Cm
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
D#6 Cm
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
F A#/F F A#
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
D7 A#
He heard the brass band playing on the street
D# A# Cm
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
D#6 Cm
And the way the woman stared down at his hands and at his feet
F A#/F F A#
Well, that took some beating
[Pre-Chorus]
F D# A# C
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
F
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
A# F A7 Dm
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
A# F A7 Dm
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
A# F A7 Dm
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Gm C
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
F C/E F C/E
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
F C/E F C/E
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
Ab 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]
A# F F/Ab G Cm A# F A# F A#
[Verse 5]
D7 A#
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
D# Cm
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
D#6 Cm
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
F A#/F F A#
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
D7 A#
G woman touched him once and then again
D# Cm
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
D#6 Cm
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
F A#/F F A#
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
D7 A#
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
D# Cm
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
D#6 Cm
He saw his image frozen on a cross
F A#/F F A#
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
D7 A#
Children playing by a tiny lake
D# Cm
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
D#6 Cm
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
F A#/F F A#
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
F D# A# C
There's no such thing as Christmas day
F
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
A# F A7 Dm
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
A# F A7 Dm
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
A# F A7 Dm
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
Gm C
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
