Intro:
 E MajorE A augmentedA x4:


Verse 1:
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
It seems like a freeze out
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
It seems like a freize
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
Stumbling I fell down
  BB      E MajorE
And prayed on my knees
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
The ice wagon's coming
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
To pick up the stiffs
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
Had a chat with an old one
  BB      E MajorE
He was gone in a jiff
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
And Santa and his reindeer
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
Jumped over the moon
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
So hush little child
  A augmentedA      BB
Santa's coming here soon

Chorus:
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Tura lura luray
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Tura lura lie
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Tura lura luray
    E MajorE     A augmentedA
It's a Christmas lullaby


Verse 2:
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
I hope you grow up angry
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
Just like your dear old dad
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
I hope you grow up brave and strong
  BB      E MajorE
Not like me - all weak and sad
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
You said "Daddy, daddy
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
You're stinking of booze"
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
I kissed him and said, "Kid
  BB      E MajorE
I was born to lose
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
But you have a future
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
And a big one to say
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
And I hope you'll remember
  A augmentedA      BB
All the love that I gave."

Chorus:
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Tura lura luray
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Tura lura lie
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Tura lura luray
    E MajorE     A augmentedA
It's a Christmas lullaby

Verse 3:
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
Heres to all the little kids
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
Who haven't got no clothes
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
Heres to all the little kids
  BB      E MajorE
Who haven't got no homes
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
It's Christmas time in Palastine
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
It's Christmas in Beirut
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
They're scrapping 'round for rice
  BB      E MajorE
Not for tutti fruits
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
And the Christmas lights, they blew up
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
Now the 'lecky's all gone dead
  C# minorC#m     E MajorE
I look like a coal miner
  A augmentedA      BB
And I've a pain inside my head
