Intro
A
[Verse 1]
C#7 A
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
D Bm
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
D6 Bm
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
E A/E E A
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
C#7 A
He took his teacup and he found a seat
D Bm
He stretched his legs across that busy street
D6 Bm
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
E A/E E A
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
E D A B
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
E
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
A E G#7 C#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
A E G#7 C#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
A E G#7 C#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
F#m B A
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
C#7 A
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
D A Bm
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
D6 Bm
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
E A/E E A
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
C#7 A
He heard the brass band playing on the street
D A Bm
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
D6 Bm
And the way the woman stared down at his hands and at his feet
E A/E E A
Well, that took some beating
[Pre-Chorus]
E D A B
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
E
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
A E G#7 C#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
A E G#7 C#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
A E G#7 C#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
F#m B
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
E B/D# E B/D#
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
E B/D# E B/D#
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
G F#
But all he found was a loneliness, and he felt like such a stranger
B E
He said, "Everything's the wrong way round"
[Interlude]
A E E/G F# Bm A E A E A
[Verse 5]
C#7 A
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
D Bm
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
D6 Bm
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
E A/E E A
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
C#7 A
F# woman touched him once and then again
D Bm
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
D6 Bm
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
E A/E E A
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
C#7 A
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
D Bm
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
D6 Bm
He saw his image frozen on a cross
E A/E E A
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
C#7 A
Children playing by a tiny lake
D Bm
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
D6 Bm
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
E A/E E A
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
E D A B
There's no such thing as Christmas day
E
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
A E G#7 C#m
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
A E G#7 C#m
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
A E G#7 C#m
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
F#m B
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
