White Wine In The Sun

[(intro ]4x) F F I’m looking forward to Christmas Bb F It’s sentimental I know, but I just really like it F I’m, I’m hardly religious Bb F I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest C C7 And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism Bb The commercialisation of an ancient religion And the western-isation of a dead Palestinian F Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer C But I still really like it. F I, I really like Christmas Bb F Though I’m not expecting a visit from Jesus C I’ll be seeing my dad C7 Dm My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum Bb They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun C I’ll be seeing my dad C7 Dm My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum Bb We’ll be drinking white wine in the sun. F I don’t go for ancient wisdom Bb F I don’t believe just ’cause ideas are tenacious it means that they’re worthy F I get freaked out by churches Bb F Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy C And yes I have all of the usual objections C7 Bb To the mis-education of children forced into a cult institution And taught to externalise blame And to feel ashamed F And to judge things as plain right and wrong C But I quite like the songs. F I’m not expecting big presents Bb F The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me. C ‘Cause I’ll be seeing my dad C7 Dm My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum Bb They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun C I’ll be seeing my dad C7 Dm My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum Bb They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun. Bb And you my baby girl F My jetlagged infant daughter Bb You’ll be handed round the room F Like a puppy at a primary school Bb And you’re too young to know F But you will learn yourself one day Bb That wherever you are and whatever you face C7 Dm These are the people who’ll make you feel safe in this world Fsus4 My sweet blue-eyed girl Bb And if my baby girl F When you’re twenty-one or thirty-one Bb And Christmas comes around F And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home C7 Csus4 You’ll know whatever comes C7 Dm Your brother and sister, and me and your mum Bb Will be waiting for you in the sun C7 Csus4 Girl, when Christmas comes C7 Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles C7 Dm Your grandparents, cousins, and me and your mum Bb Will be drinking white wine in the sun F We’ll be waiting for you in the sun Bb Baby, whenever you come F7 We’ll be drinking white wine in the sun Bb Waiting.
