Capo V (Original key F)
CI really like Christmas It's sentiFmental, I know, but I just really Clike it CI am hardly religious I'd rather Fbreak bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu, to be Chonest And yes, I have Gall of the usual objections to consumerG7ism To the commercialisation of an ancient reFligion to the westernisation of a dead Palestinian Press-ganged into selling Playstations and Cbeer But I still really Glike it G6 G7
CI'm looking forward to Christmas Though I'm not exFpecting a visit from CJesus I'll be seeing my Gdad My G7brother and sisters, my E7/Fgran and my Ammum They'll be Am/Gdrinking white wine in the Fmaj7/Fsun I'll be seeing my Gdad My G7brother and sisters, my E7/Fgran and my Ammum They'll be Am/Gdrinking white wine in theFmaj7/F sun F
CI don't go in for ancient wisdom I don't believe Fjust 'cos ideas are tenacious it means they're Cworthy CI get freaked out by churches Some of the Fhymns that they sing have nice Fmchords but the lyrics are Cdodgy
And yes I have Gall of the usual objections To the mis-eduG7cation of children who, in tax-exempt instiFtutions, Are taught to externalise blame And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right and Cwrong But I quite like the Gsongs G6 G7
CI'm not expecting big presents The old combiFnation of socks, jocks and chocolate's is just fine by Cme Cos I'll be seeing my Gdad My G7brother and sisters, my E7/Fgran and my Ammum They'll be Am/Gdrinking white wine in theFmaj7/F sun I'll be seeing my Gdad My G7brother and sisters, my E7/Fgran and my Ammum They'll be Am/Gdrinking white wine in theFmaj7/F sun
AndFadd2 you, my baby girl my jC/Eetlagged infant daughter You'll be Dm7handed round the room like a G11puppy at a primary school And Fadd2you won't understand but C/Eyou will learn someday That wheDm7rever you are and whatever you face G11These are the people who'll make you feel sE7afe in this Amworld Am/G My sweet blue-eyed Fadd2girl
AndFadd2 if my baby girl when you're C/Etwenty-one or thirty-one And Dm7Christmas comes around and you G11find yourself nine thousand miles from home You'll Dm7know C/Ewhat - Fe - Amver Gcomes Your G7brothers and sisters and E7/Fme and your Ammum Will be Am/Gwaiting for you in theFmaj7/F sun Girl when Christmas Gcomes Your G11brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles Your grandparents, cousins and E7me and your Ammum We'll be Am/Gwaiting for you in the Fsun C/EDrinking white wine in the Dm7sun G11Darling, when Christmas Fcomes We'll be C/Ewaiting for you in the Dm7sun C/EDrinking white wine in the Fsun C/EWaiting for you in the Dm7sun G11Waiting...

This is a beautiful song to both listen to and play along to, however, being that it is the key of F, it is hard work on the wrist, as you'd know, to play constant barre chords. So I decided to transpose what I had worked out using a capo in the 5th fret. I stole this idea from Tim himself as there is a YouTube video of him performing this song with Brian Cox on piano and Tim on guitar using a capo. I find it much more enjoyable to play along to this way. Hope you enjoy. Please let me know if there's anything you think might be wrong with it as I'm always grateful for constructive critisism. Cheers!
