[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][C][Dm]
[C][Dm][C][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[C]Hello Dan, it's Joe[Dm] here,
[C]I hope you're kee[Dm]ping well
[C]It's the 21st of Decem[Dm]ber,
[C]and now they're ringing the last bel[Dm]ls
[F]If I get good behav[Em]iour,
[F]I'll be out of here by July[G]
[C]Won't you kiss my kids on [Dm]Christmas Day
[C]Ple[Dm]ase don't let 'em cry
[C]for [Dm]me[C][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[C]I guess the brothers are driving down
from [Dm]Queensland
[C]And Stella's flying in from the coa[Dm]st
[C]They say it's gonna be
a hundred de[Dm]grees, even more maybe
[C]But that won't sto[Dm]p the roast
[F]Who's gonna make the gra[Em]vy now?
[F]I bet it won't taste the sam[G]e
[C]Just add flour, sal[Dm]t, a little red wine
And don't forget a [C]dollop of tomato sauce
for sweetness and [Dm]that extra tang

[Chorus 1]
And give my love to [C]Angus
and to Frank and [Dm]Dolly
Tell 'em all [Em]I'm sorry,
I screwed up [Dm]this time
And look after [C]Rita,
I'll be thinking of [Dm]of her
Early Christmas [Em]morning,
when I'm [Dm]standing in line

[Interlude 1]
[C][Dm][Em][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[C]I hear Mary's got a new boy[Dm]friend,
[C]I hope he can hold his own[Dm]
[C]Do you remember the last one?
[Dm]What was his name again?
[C]Just a little too much colog[Dm]ne
[F]And Roger, you know
I'm even [Em]gonna miss Roger
'Cause [F]there's sure as hell
no one in here [G]I want to fight

[Chorus 2]
Oh, praise the Baby [C]Jesus,
have a Merry [Dm]Christmas
I'm really gonna [Em]miss it,
all the treasure and the [Dm]trash
And later in the [C]evening, I can just i[Dm]magine
You'll put on Junior [Em]Murvin
and push the ta[Dm]bles back

[Bridge 1]
And you'll dance with [C]Rita,
I know you really [Dm]like her
Just don't [Em]hold her too close
Oh, brother, please [Dm]don't stab me in the back
I didn't mean to [C]say that,
it's just my mind it [Dm]plays up
Multiplies each [Em]matter,
turns imagi[Dm]nation into fact
You know I love her [C]badly,
she's the one to [Dm]save me
I'm gonna make some [Em]gravy,
I'm gonna taste [Dm]the fat
Tell her that [C]I'm sorry,
yeah, I love her [Dm]badly
Tell 'em all [Em]I'm sorry
And kiss the sleepy [Dm]children for me
You know one of these [C]days,
I'll be making [Dm]gravy
I'll be making [Em]plenty,
I'm gonna [Dm]pay 'em all
