white wine in the sun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I, really like Christmas
It's [G]sentimental I know,
but I just really [D]like it
I, i'm not hardly religious
I'd rather [G]break bread with Dawkins
than Desmond Tutu to [D]be honest
And yes I have [A]all of the usual
objections to consumerism
The commercialisation of an
ancient reli[G]gion
And the western- isation of a
dead Palestinian
Press- ganged into selling
PlaySta[D]tions and beer
But I still really [A]like it.

[Verse 2]
[A]
[D]I, I really like Christmas
Though I'm not ex[G]pecting
a visit from [D]Jesus
I'll be seeing my [A]dad
My brother and sisters,
my gran [F#]and my m[Bm]um
They'll be [A]drinking white wine in
[D]the [G]sun[D][G][A][D]
I'll be seeing my dad
My sisters and brother, my
gran and my mum
We'll be drinking
white wine in the sun.

[Verse 3]
I don't go [D]for ancient wisdom
I don't believe [G]just 'cause
ideas are
tenacious it means that they're [D]worthy
I get freaked out by churches
Some of the [G]hymns that they sing
have nice chords
But the lyrics [D]are dodgy
And yes I have [A]all of the
usual objections to the
mis- education of children forced
into a cult institu[G]tion
And taughted to externalise blame
And to feel ashamed
And to judge things as
plain right [D]and wrong
But I quite [A]like [D]the [A]songs.

[Verse 4]
[D]I'm not expecting big presents
The old combin[G]ation of socks,
jocks and chocolate is just fine [D]by me.

[Verse 5]
'Cause I'll be seeing my [A]dad
My brother and sisters,
my [C#dim]gran and [F#]my mum[Bm]
They'll be [A]drinking white wine in [G]the sun
I'll be seeing my dad
[A]My sisters and brothers,
my [C#dim]gran and [Bbdim]my mum[F#][Bm]
They'll be [A]drinking white
[Bm]wine [G]in the sun.

[Verse 6]
And [G]you my baby girl
[D]My jetlagged infant daughter
You'll [G]be [Em]handed round [G]the room[Em]
Like [A]a puppy at a primary school
And [G]you're too young to know
[D]But you will learn yourself
one day
[Em]That wherever you are
and whatever you face
[A]These are the people who'll make you
feel safe [Bm]in this [A]world
[D]My [Em]sweet blu[Bm]e- eye
[G]d girl

[Verse 7]
And if my baby girl [G]When
you're twenty- one or thirty- [D]one
[A]And Chr[Em]istmas comes around
And you find yourself nine [D]thousand
miles from [A]home
You'll know whatever comes
Your brother and sister,
and me an[F#]d your mu[Bm]m
Will be [A]waiting for you in the [G]sun
[A]Whenever you comes
Your brothers and sisters,
your aunts and your uncles
Your grandparents, cousins,
an[F#]d me and you[Bm]r mum
Will be waiting for you in the sun
[A]Drinking [D]white [A]wine in the [G]sun
Darling, when christimas come
Drinking white wine in the sun
[D]Waiting for you in the [Em]sun
[D]Waiting for [G]you
Waiting...
[D]

[Verse 8]
[D]I really like Christmas
It's sentiment[G]al [A]I know.[G][A]
