Intro
E
[Verse 1]
G#7 E
Jesus strolled on Royal Avenue
A F#m
The church was closed, Sunday afternoon
A6 F#m
He had some tea, he had to join the queue
B E/B B E
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 2]
G#7 E
He took his teacup and he found a seat
A F#m
He stretched his legs across that busy street
A6 F#m
To watch a starling jump at things to eat
B E/B B E
They just don't mind waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
B A E F#
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
B
With all his candles burning
[Chorus]
E B D#7 G#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
E B D#7 G#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
E B D#7 G#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
C#m F# E
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Verse 3]
G#7 E
Jesus rose up, tried to take a bus
A E F#m
He had no change, oh, there was such a fuss
A6 F#m
I think he stood 'bout two in front of us
B E/B B E
He said, "I don't mind waiting"
[Verse 4]
G#7 E
He heard the brass band playing on the street
A E F#m
He tapped good time out to that Christmas beat
A6 F#m
And the way the woman stared down at his hands and at his feet
B E/B B E
Well, that took some beating
[Pre-Chorus]
B A E F#
And he wrote this song on Christmas day
B
There in all his glory
[Chorus]
E B D#7 G#m
"My people are not speaking, there's something wrong
E B D#7 G#m
And I thought that my returning might have made them strong
E B D#7 G#m
And that Jingle Bells and jangle, I don't know that song
C#m F#
But they're playing it the wrong way round"
[Bridge]
B F#/A# B F#/A#
So he went in search of wise men and he tried to find the manger
B F#/A# B F#/A#
He went in search of lonely shepherds, shagging kings and angels
D C#
But all he found was a loneliness, and he felt like such a stranger
F# B
He said, "Everything's the wrong way round"
[Interlude]
E B B/D C# F#m E B E B E
[Verse 5]
G#7 E
He checked the shops out, strolled the bright arcades
A F#m
He ripped his white cloak on a barricade
A6 F#m
The rolls of barbed-wire made him feel afraid
B E/B B E
And he was crying
[Verse 6]
G#7 E
C# woman touched him once and then again
A F#m
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her face was plain
A6 F#m
"Could you be my Mary Magdalene?
B E/B B E
Well, at least you're crying"
[Verse 7]
G#7 E
He stopped to look, he was clearly lost
A F#m
The botanic gardens on a Winter frost
A6 F#m
He saw his image frozen on a cross
B E/B B E
Of Winter bracken
[Verse 8]
G#7 E
Children playing by a tiny lake
A F#m
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' Jesus' sake!"
A6 F#m
He knew then he'd made such a great mistake
B E/B B E
And he just kept on walking
[Pre-Chorus]
B A E F#
There's no such thing as Christmas day
B
No Jingle Bells, no jangle
[Chorus]
E B D#7 G#m
"The empty church is shivering, those empty songs
E B D#7 G#m
And the way the children try to stay up, all night long
E B D#7 G#m
But it's not me that they're waiting for, no, that's all long gone
C#m F#
And everything's the wrong way round"
[Outro]
