Intro
G#
[Verse 1]
C7 G#
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
C# A#m
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
C#6 A#m
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
D# G#/D# D# G#
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
C7 G#
He took his teacup and he found a seat
C# A#m
He stretched his legs across that busy street
C#6 A#m
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
D# G#/D# D# G#
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
D# C# G# A#
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
D#
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
G# D# G7 Cm
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
G# D# G7 Cm
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
G# D# G7 Cm
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Fm A# G#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
C7 G#
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
C# G# A#m
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
C#6 A#m
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
D# G#/D# D# G#
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
C7 G#
He heard the brass band playing on the street
C# G# A#m
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
C#6 A#m
And the way the woman stared down at his hands and at his feet
D# G#/D# D# G#
Well, that took some beating
[Pre-Chorus]
D# C# G# A#
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
D#
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
G# D# G7 Cm
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
G# D# G7 Cm
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
G# D# G7 Cm
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Fm A#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
D# A#/D D# A#/D
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
D# A#/D D# A#/D
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
Gb F
But all he found was a loneliness, and he felt like such a stranger
A# D#
He said, "Everything's the wrong way round"
[Interlude]
G# D# D#/Gb F A#m G# D# G# D# G#
[Verse 5]
C7 G#
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
C# A#m
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
C#6 A#m
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
D# G#/D# D# G#
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
C7 G#
F woman touched him once and then again
C# A#m
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
C#6 A#m
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
D# G#/D# D# G#
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
C7 G#
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
C# A#m
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
C#6 A#m
He saw his image frozen on a cross
D# G#/D# D# G#
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
C7 G#
Children playing by a tiny lake
C# A#m
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
C#6 A#m
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
D# G#/D# D# G#
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
D# C# G# A#
There's no such thing as Christmas day
D#
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
G# D# G7 Cm
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
G# D# G7 Cm
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
G# D# G7 Cm
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
Fm A#
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
