INTRO: F x4

F
I'm looking forward to Christmas
Bb F
It's sentimental I know but I just really like it
F
I am hardly religious
Bb F
I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest
C C7
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
Bb
The commercialisation of an ancient religion

And the westernisation of a dead Palestinian
F
Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer
C
But I still really like it

F
I'm looking forward to Christmas
Bb F
Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus
C
I'll be seeing my dad
C7 A Dm
My brother and sisters my gran and my mum
Dm/C Bb
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
C
I'll be seeing my dad
C7 A Dm
My brother and sisters my gran and my mum
Dm/C Bb
We'll be drinking white wine in the sun

F
I don't go for ancient wisdom
Bb F
I don't believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious it means that they're worthy
F
I get freaked out by churches
Bb F
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy
C
And yes I have all of the usual objections
C7 Bb
To the miseducation of children who in tax-exempt institutions

And taught to externalise blame

And to feel ashamed
F
And to judge things as plain right and wrong
C
But I quite like the songs

F
I'm not expecting big presents
Bb F
The old combination of socks jocks and chocolate is just fine by me
C
Cause I'll be seeing my dad
C7 A Dm
My brother and sisters my gran and my mum
Dm/C Bb
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
C
I'll be seeing my dad
C7 A Dm
My brother and sisters my gran and my mum
Dm/C Bb
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun

Bb
And you my baby girl
F/A
My jetlagged infant daughter
Gm7
You'll be handed round the room
C Csus4 C
Like a puppy at a primary school
Bb
And you don't understand
F/A
But you will learn yourself one day
Gm7
That wherever you are and whatever you face
C C7 A Dm
These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world
Dm/C Bb
My sweet blue-eyed girl

Bb
And if my baby girl
F/A
When you're twenty-one or thirty-one
Gm7
And Christmas comes around
C Csus4 C
And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
Bb F/A Gm7 C
You'll know whatever comes
C7 A Dm
Your brother and sister and me and your mum
Dm/C Bb
Will be waiting for you in the sun
C Csus4 C
Whenever you come
C7
Your brothers and sisters your aunts and your uncles
C7 A Dm
Your grandparents cousins and me and your mum
Dm/C Bb
We'll be waiting for you in the sun
F/A Gm7
Drinking white wine in the sun
C Bb
Darling when Christmas comes
F/A Gm7
We'll be waiting for you in the sun
F/A Bb
Drinking white wine in the sun
F/A Gm7
Waiting for you in the sun
C Bb
Waiting for you
Gm7 C7
Waiting

F
I really like Christmas
Bb F
It's sentimental I know
