[INTRO]
C#m G#m B F#
C#m G#m B F#
[VERSE 1]
C#m G#m B F#
A Christmas song a poor man sings
C#m G#m B F#
I throw my faith on anything
A F#
And walk home in the rain
A F#
And what's it like in Spain
C#m G#m B F# C#m G#m B F#
This time of year? This time of year
[VERSE 2]
C#m G#m B F#
My father's father went to war
C#m G#m B F#
And crawled the European floor
A F#
In trenches filled with mud
A F#
Soaked his uniform with blood
A F#
Of both comrade and enemy
A F#
Through a gas mask he could barely see
C#m G#m B F# C#m G#m B F#
One from the other One from the other
[VERSE 3]
C#m G#m B F#
A Christmas song, a cigarette
C#m G#m B F#
My boots so stiff, so cold and wet
A F#
My skin buffalo blue
A F#
My love so low and true
A F#
And I scanned the streets for you
C#m G#m B F# C#m G#m B F#
On humble Christmas On humble Christmas
[OUTRO]
