White Wine In The Sun chords by Tim Minchin

Chords with lyrics

Capo V (Original key FF)

C majorC
I really like Christmas
     FF                 C majorC
It's sentimental, I know, but I just really like it
C majorC
I am hardly religious
      FF                         C majorC
I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu, to be honest
        G+G                   G7G7
And yes, I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
                     FF
To the commercialisation of an ancient religion to the westernisation of a dead Palestinian
                      C majorC
Press-ganged into selling Playstations and beer
          G+G    G6G6 G7G7
But I still really like it

C majorC
I'm looking forward to Christmas
         FF          C majorC
Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus
         G+G
I'll be seeing my dad
  G7G7           E7/F    A minorAm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
      Am/GAm/G            Fmaj7/F
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
         G+G
I'll be seeing my dad
  G7G7           E7/F    A minorAm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
      Am/GAm/G           Fmaj7/F
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun

C majorC
I don't go in for ancient wisdom
        FF                       C majorC
I don't believe just 'cos ideas are tenacious it means they're worthy
C majorC
I get freaked out by churches
      FF               F minorFm            C majorC
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy

        G+G
And yes I have all of the usual objections
       G7G7                     FF
To the mis-education of children who, in tax-exempt institutions,
Are taught to externalise blame
                              C majorC
And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right and wrong
           G+G   G6G6 G7G7
But I quite like the songs

C majorC
I'm not expecting big presents
       FF                           C majorC
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate's is just fine by me
           G+G
Cos I'll be seeing my dad
  G7G7           E7/F    A minorAm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
      Am/GAm/G           Fmaj7/F
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
         G+G
I'll be seeing my dad
  G7G7           E7/F    A minorAm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
      Am/GAm/G           Fmaj7/F
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun

  Fadd2         C/EC/E
And you, my baby girl my jetlagged infant daughter
     Dm7Dm7             G11G11
You'll be handed round the room like a puppy at a primary school
  Fadd2          C/EC/E
And you won't understand but you will learn someday
    Dm7Dm7
That wherever you are and whatever you face
G11G11                    E7E7     A minorAm   Am/GAm/G
These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world
          Fadd2
My sweet blue-eyed girl

  Fadd2            C/EC/E
And if my baby girl when you're twenty-one or thirty-one
  Dm7Dm7              G11G11
And Christmas comes around and you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
    Dm7Dm7  C/EC/E  FF  A minorAm   G+G
You'll know  what - e - ver  comes
   G7G7            E7/F    A minorAm
Your brothers and sisters and me and your mum

Will be waiting for you in the sun

Girl when Christmas comes

Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles
                E7E7     A minorAm
Your grandparents, cousins and me and your mum
     Am/GAm/G          FF
We'll be waiting for you in the sun
C/EC/E            Dm7Dm7
Drinking white wine in the sun
G11G11           FF
Darling, when Christmas comes
     C/EC/E          Dm7Dm7
We'll be waiting for you in the sun

This is a beautiful song to both listen to and play along to, however, being that it is the key of F, it is
hard work on the wrist, as you'd know, to play constant barre chords. So I decided to transpose what I had
worked out using a capo in the 5th fret. I stole this idea from Tim himself as there is a YouTube video of
him performing this song with Brian Cox on piano and Tim on guitar using a capo.

I find it much more enjoyable to play along to this way. Hope you enjoy. Please let me know if there's
anything you think might be wrong with it as I'm always grateful for constructive critisism. Cheers!
