This is a gorgeous cover by Kate of a Tim Minchin song :)
Just listen to the song to get the hang of the finger-picking, it's really simple!
Capo 4
INTRO: C x 4
C
I'm looking forward to Christmas
F C
It's sentimental I know, but I just really like it
C
I'm hardly religious
F C
I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest
G F
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
C
The commercialisation of an ancient religion
And the western-isation of a dead Palestinian
G
Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer
F
But I still really like it.
C
I, I really like Christmas
F C
Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus
G
I'll be seeing my dad
F E Am
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
F C
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
G
I'll be seeing my dad
F E Am
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
F C
We'll be drinking white wine in the sun.
C
I don't go for ancient wisdom
F C
I don't believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious it means that they're worthy
C
I get freaked out by churches
F C
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy
G
And yes I have all of the usual objections
F C
To the mis-education of children forced into a cult institution
And taught to externalise blame
And to feel ashamed
G
And to judge things as plain right and wrong
F
But I quite like the songs.
C
I'm not expecting big presents
F C
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me.
G
'Cause I'll be seeing my dad
F E Am
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
F C
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
G
I'll be seeing my dad
F E Am
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
F C
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun.
F
And you my baby girl
C
My jetlagged infant daughter
F
You'll be handed round the room
C
Like a puppy at a primary school
F
And you're too young to know
C
But you will learn yourself one day
F
That wherever you are and whatever you face
F Am
These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world
?
My sweet blue-eyed girl
F
And if my baby girl
C
When you're twenty-one or thirty-one
F
And Christmas comes around
C
And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
F G
You'll know whatever comes
G E Am
Your brother and sister, and me and your mum
F C
Will be waiting for you in the sun
C G
Girl, when Christmas comes
G
Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles
E Am
Your grandparents, cousins, and me and your mum
F C
Will be drinking white wine in the sun
F C
We'll be waiting for you in the sun
F
Baby, whenever you come
C
We'll be drinking white wine in the sun
F
Waiting.
C
I, I really like Christmas
F C
It's sentimental I know...
