Intro
F#
[Verse 1]
A#7 F#
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
B G#m
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
B6 G#m
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
C# F#/C# C# F#
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
A#7 F#
He took his teacup and he found a seat
B G#m
He stretched his legs across that busy street
B6 G#m
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
C# F#/C# C# F#
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
C# B F# G#
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
C#
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
F# C# F7 A#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
F# C# F7 A#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
F# C# F7 A#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
D#m G# F#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
A#7 F#
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
B F# G#m
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
B6 G#m
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
C# F#/C# C# F#
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
A#7 F#
He heard the brass band playing on the street
B F# G#m
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
B6 G#m
And the way the woman stared down at his hands and at his feet
C# F#/C# C# F#
Well, that took some beating
[Pre-Chorus]
C# B F# G#
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
C#
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
F# C# F7 A#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
F# C# F7 A#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
F# C# F7 A#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
D#m G#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
C# G#/C C# G#/C
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
C# G#/C C# G#/C
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
Fb D#
But all he found was a loneliness, and he felt like such a stranger
G# C#
He said, "Everything's the wrong way round"
[Interlude]
F# C# C#/Fb D# G#m F# C# F# C# F#
[Verse 5]
A#7 F#
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
B G#m
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
B6 G#m
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
C# F#/C# C# F#
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
A#7 F#
D# woman touched him once and then again
B G#m
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
B6 G#m
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
C# F#/C# C# F#
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
A#7 F#
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
B G#m
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
B6 G#m
He saw his image frozen on a cross
C# F#/C# C# F#
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
A#7 F#
Children playing by a tiny lake
B G#m
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
B6 G#m
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
C# F#/C# C# F#
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
C# B F# G#
There's no such thing as Christmas day
C#
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
F# C# F7 A#m
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
F# C# F7 A#m
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
F# C# F7 A#m
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
D#m G#
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
