Tim Minchin - White wine in the sun

^FI really like Christmas It’s sentim^Bbental I know, but I just really l^Fike it ^FI’m, I’m hardly religious I’d rather break br^Bbead with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be h^Fonest And yes I have ^Call of the usual objections to cons^C7umerism To the commercialisation of an ancient ^Bbreligion

Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and be^Fer But I still really like it. ^C

^FI’m looking forward to Christmas Though I’m not ^Bbexpecting a visit from J^Fesus I’ll be seeing my d^Cad My br^C7other and sisters, my ^A7gran and my m^Dmum They’ll be ^Dm/Cdrinking white wine in the s^Bbun I’ll be seeing my d^Cad My b^C7rother and sisters, my ^A7gran and my ^Dmmum They’ll b^Dm/Ce drinking white wine in the^Bb sun.

^FI don’t go in for ancient wisdom I don’t bel^Bbieve just ’cause ideas are tenacious it means that they’re w^Forthy ^FI get freaked out by churches Some of the h^Bbymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are d^Fodgy And yes I have ^Call of the usual objections To the mis-educ^C7ation of children who in tax-exempt institu^Bbtions

And to judge things as plain right or wr^Fong But I quite like the s^Congs.
