[Intro]
E F#m7add11 Emaj7 F#m7add11
E F#m7add11 Emaj7 F#m7add11
[Verse]
E F#m7add11
Hello Dan, it's Joe here,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
I hope you're keeping well,
E F#m7add11
it’s the 21st of December
Emaj7 F#m7add11
now they’re ringing the last bell.
Aadd9 Emaj7
If I get good behaviour
Aadd9 Badd11
I'll be out of here by July,
E F#m7add11
won’t you kiss my kids on Christmas day,
Emaj7 F#m7add11 E
please don't let them cry for me.
F#m7add11 Emaj7 F#m7add11
[Verse]
E F#m7add11
I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland
Emaj7 F#m7add11
and Stella's flying in from the coast.
E F#m7add11
They say it's gonna be a hundred degrees, even more maybe,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
but that won't stop the roast.
Aadd9 Emaj7
Who's gonna make the gravy now?
Aadd9 Badd11
I bet it won't taste the same
E F#m7add11
Just add flour, salt, a little red wine and don't forget a
Emaj7 F#m7add11
dollop of tomato sauce for sweetness and that extra tang.
[Bridge]
E F#m7add11
And give my love to Angus and to Frank and Dolly,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
Tell 'em all I'm sorry I screwed up this time.
E F#m7add11
And look after Rita, I'll be thinking of her,
Emaj7 F#m7add11 E
early Christmas morning, when I'm standing in line.
F#m7add11 Emaj7 F#m7add11
[Verse]
E F#m7add11
I hear Mary's got a new boyfriend,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
I hope he can hold his own
E F#m7add11
Do you remember the last one? What was his name again?
Emaj7 F#m7add11
Just a little too much cologne
Aadd9 Emaj7
And Roger, you know I'm even gonna miss Roger
Aadd9 Badd11
'Cause there's sure as hell no one in here I want to fight
[Bridge]
E F#m7add11
Oh praise the Baby Jesus, have a Merry Christmas,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
I'm really gonna miss it, all the treasure and the trash
E F#m7add11
And later in the evening, I can just imagine,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
You'll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back
E F#m7add11
And you'll dance with Rita, I know you really like her,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
Just don't hold her too close, oh brother please don't stab me in the back
E F#m7add11
I didn't mean to say that, it's just my mind it plays up,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
Multiplies each matter, turns imagination into fact
E F#m7add11
You know I love her badly, she's the one to save me,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
I'm gonna make some gravy, I'm gonna taste the fat
E F#m7add11
Tell her that I'm sorry, yeah I love her badly,
Emaj7 F#m7add11
tell 'em all I'm sorry, and kiss the sleepy children for me.
E F#m7add11
You know one of these days, I'll be making gravy,
Emaj7 F#m7add11 E
I'll be making plenty, I'm gonna pay 'em all back.
F#m7add11 Emaj7 F#m7add11
