Jethro Tull
A Christmas Song
capo 2
C G D Am
Once in royal davids city
C G D Am Em Am
stood a lonely cattle shed,
C G D Am
Where a mother held her baby.
C G D Am G Em Am
Youd do well to remember the things he later said.
C G D Am
When youre stuffing yourselves at the christmas parties,
C G D Am Em Am
Youll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
C G D Am C Em Am
Youre missing the point Im sure does not need making
C G D D G Em Am
That christmas spirit is not what you drink.
C G D Am
So how can you laugh when your own mothers hungry,
C G D Am G Em Am
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
C G D Am
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
C G D Am G Em Am
Remember, if you wish, this is just a christmas song.
