[Verse 1]
A7 F
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
A# Gm
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
A#6 Gm
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
C F/C C F
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
A7 F
He took his teacup and he found a seat
A# Gm
He stretched his legs across that busy street
A#6 Gm
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
C F/C C F
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
C A# F G
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
C
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
F C E7 Am
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
F C E7 Am
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Dm G F
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
A7 F
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
A# F Gm
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
A#6 Gm
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
C F/C C F
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
A7 F
He heard the brass band playing on the street
A# F Gm
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
A#6 Gm
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 A# F G
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
C
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
F C E7 Am
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
F C E7 Am
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
Dm G
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
C G/B C G/B
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
C G/B C G/B
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
Eb 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/Eb D Gm F C F C F
[Verse 5]
A7 F
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
A# Gm
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
A#6 Gm
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
C F/C C F
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
A7 F
D woman touched him once and then again
A# Gm
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
A#6 Gm
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
C F/C C F
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
A7 F
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
A# Gm
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
A#6 Gm
He saw his image frozen on a cross
C F/C C F
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
A7 F
Children playing by a tiny lake
A# Gm
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
A#6 Gm
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
C F/C C F
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
C A# F G
There's no such thing as Christmas day
C
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
F C E7 Am
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
F C E7 Am
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
Dm G
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
