[Intro]
C G/B Am7 G F Fsus2 F Fsus2
C G/B Am7 G F Fsus2 F Fsus2
[Verse 1]
C G/B
Got the card that you sent,
Am7 G
It's all tattered and bent,
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Where I fished it back out of the bin,
C G/B
And beneath our old tree,
Am7 G
There's no present for me,
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Just a bottle of Dry London Gin,
C G/B Am7 G
And I wonder if you ever think of the two of us,
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Now that you're living with him.
[Chorus]
C G/B Am7 G F Fsus2 F Fsus2
And I hope you have a Bloody Good Xmas.
[Verse 2]
C G/B
Well the speech from the Queen,
Am7 G
And the movies I've seen before,
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Just served to widen the hole,
C G/B
So I finished my beer,
Am7 G
And in an effort to cheer myself,
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Went for a leisurely stroll,
C G/B
But my modeling shoes,
Am7 G
Took me back to the boozer and,
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Ushered me in from the cold.
[Chorus]
C G/B Am7 G F Fsus2 F Fsus2
And I hope you have a Bloody Good Xmas,
C G/B Am7 G Fsus2 F Fsus2
And I hope you have a Bloody Good Xmas.
[Bridge]
Am F
And if beggars belief what a hollow relief,
C
You can gain,
G/B
From a double or four,
Am
When the morning still brings,
F
With it yesterday's sting,
D F
As you're scraping yourself off the floor.
[Verse 3]
C G/B
Tell the kids I'm okay,
Am7 G
But there isn't a day,
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
That goes by when I don't miss them so,
C G/B
And I'm glad that you're well,
Am7 G Fsus2 F
And I hope your new fella forgives me,
Fsus2
For breaking his nose,
C G/B
Cos I'm almost resigned,
Am7 G
To the whole grand design of it,
Fsus2 F Fsus2 F
Reaping the harvest I've sown,
F Fmaj7 Dm
A door opens when one has been closed.
Dm
Yeah . . .
[Chorus]
C G/B Am7 G F Fsus2 F Fsus2
And I hope you have a Bloody Good Xmas,
C G/B Am7 G F Fsus2 F Fsus2
And I hope you have a Bloody Good Xmas, oooh
C G/B Am7 G F Fsus2 F Fsus2
And I hope you have a Bloody Good Xmas, yeah,
C G/B Am7 G F Fsus2 F
And I hope you have a Bloody Good Xmas,
Fsus2 C
And a happy New Year.
