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. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/k/kate-miller-heidke/301669.html ] 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... |
