Intro
G
[Verse 1]
B7 G
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
C Am
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
C6 Am
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
D G/D D G
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
B7 G
He took his teacup and he found a seat
C Am
He stretched his legs across that busy street
C6 Am
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 F#7 Bm
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
G D F#7 Bm
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
G D F#7 Bm
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Em A G
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
B7 G
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
C G Am
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
C6 Am
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
D G/D D G
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
B7 G
He heard the brass band playing on the street
C G Am
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
C6 Am
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 F#7 Bm
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
G D F#7 Bm
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
G D F#7 Bm
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Em A
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
D A/C# D A/C#
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
D A/C# D A/C#
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
F E
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/F E Am G D G D G
[Verse 5]
B7 G
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
C Am
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
C6 Am
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
D G/D D G
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
B7 G
E woman touched him once and then again
C Am
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
C6 Am
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
D G/D D G
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
B7 G
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
C Am
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
C6 Am
He saw his image frozen on a cross
D G/D D G
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
B7 G
Children playing by a tiny lake
C Am
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
C6 Am
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 F#7 Bm
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
G D F#7 Bm
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
G D F#7 Bm
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
Em A
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
