Version 1No Capo Standard Tuning [Intro] E F#m G#m F#m E F#m G#m F#m [Verse] E F#m Hello Dan, it's Joe here, G#m F#m I hope you're keeping well, E F#m it’s the 21st of December G#m F#m now they’re ringing the last bell. A G#m If I get good behaviour A B I'll be out of here by July, E F#m won’t you kiss my kids on Christmas day, G#m F#m E please don't let them cry for me. F#m G#m F#m [Verse] E F#m I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland G#m F#m and Stella's flying in from the coast. E F#m They say it's gonna be a hundred degrees, even more maybe, G#m F#m but that won't stop the roast. A G#m Who's gonna make the gravy now? A B I bet it won't taste the same E F#m Just add flour, salt, a little red wine and don't forget a G#m F#m dollop of tomato sauce for sweetness and that extra tang. [Bridge] E F#m And give my love to Angus and to Frank and Dolly, G#m F#m Tell 'em all I'm sorry I screwed up this time. E F#m And look after Rita, I'll be thinking of her, G#m F#m E early Christmas morning, when I'm standing in line. F#m G#m F#m [Verse] E F#m I hear Mary's got a new boyfriend, G#m F#m I hope he can hold his own E F#m Do you remember the last one? What was his name again? G#m F#m (Just a little too much cologne) A G#m And Roger, you know I'm even gonna miss Roger A B 'Cause there's sure as hell no one in here I want to fight [Bridge] E F#m Oh praise the Baby Jesus, have a Merry Christmas, G#m F#m I'm really gonna miss it, all the treasure and the trash E F#m And later in the evening, I can just imagine, G#m F#m You'll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back E F#m And you'll dance with Rita, I know you really like her, G#m F#m Just don't hold her too close, oh brother please don't stab me in the back E F#m I didn't mean to say that, it's just my mind it plays up, G#m F#m Multiplies each matter, turns imagination into fact E F#m You know I love her badly, she's the one to save me, G#m F#m I'm gonna make some gravy, I'm gonna taste the fat E F#m Tell her that I'm sorry, yeah I love her badly, G#m F#m tell 'em all I'm sorry, and kiss the sleepy children for me. E F#m You know one of these days, I'll be making gravy, G#m F#m E I'll be making plenty, I'm gonna pay 'em all back. F#m G#m F#m [Outro] E F#m G#m F#m E F#m G#m F#m
