White Wine in the Sun
| I really like Christmas | F |
| It's sentimental, I know, but I just really like it | Bb F |
| I am hardly religious | F |
| I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu, to be honest | Bb F |
| And yes, I have all of the usual objections | C C7 |
| To consumerism, the commercialisation of an ancient religion | Bb |
| To the westernisation of a dead Palestinian | |
| Press-ganged into selling Playstations and beer | F |
| But I still really like it | C |
| I'm looking forward to Christmas | F |
| Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus | Bb F |
| I'll be seeing my dad | C |
| My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum | C7 A Dm |
| They'll be drinking white wine in the sun | Dm/C Bb |
| I don't go in for ancient wisdom | C |
| I don't believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious it means they're worthy | C7 A Dm |
| I get freaked out by churches | Dm/C Bb |
| Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords | F |
| But the lyrics are dodgy | Bb F |
| And yes, I have all of the usual objections | C |
| To the mis-education of children who, in tax-exempt institutions | C7 Bb |
| Are taught to externalise blame | |
| And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right and wrong | F |
| But I quite like the songs | C |
| I'm not expecting big presents | F |
| The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate's is just fine by me | Bb F |
| 'Cause I'll be seeing my dad | C |
| My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum | C7 A Dm |
| They'll be drinking white wine in the sun | Dm/C Bb |
| I'll be seeing my dad | C |
| My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum | C7 A Dm |
| They'll be drinking white wine in the sun | Dm/C Bb |
| And you, my baby girl | Bb |
| My jetlagged infant daughter | F/A |
| You'll be handed round the room | Gm7 |
| Like a puppy at a primary school | C Csus4 C |
| And you won't understand | Bb |
| But you will learn someday | F/A |
| That wherever you are and whatever you face | Gm7 |
| These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world | C C7 A Dm |
| My sweet blue-eyed girl | Dm/C Bb |
| And if my baby girl | Bb |
| When you're twenty-one or thirty-one | F/A |
| And Christmas comes around | Gm7 |
| And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home | C Csus4 C |
| You'll know what ever comes | Bb F/A Gm7 C |
| Your brothers and sisters and me and your mum | C7 A Dm |
| Will be waiting for you in the sun | Dm/C Bb |
| When Christmas comes | C Csus4 C |
| Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles | C7 |
| Your grandparents, cousins and me and your mum | C7 A Dm |
| We'll be waiting for you in the sun | Dm/C Bb |
| Drinking white wine in the sun | F/A Gm7 |
| Darling, whenever you come | C Bb |
| We'll be waiting for you in the sun | F/A Gm7 |
| Drinking white wine in the sun | F/A Bb |
| Waiting for you in the sun | F/A Gm7 |
| Darling, when Christmas comes | C Bb |
| We'll be waiting for you in the sun | F/A Gm7 |
| Waiting | Gm7 C7 |
| I really like Christmas | F |
| It's sentimental, I know. | Bb F |
