Christmas Lullaby chords by Shane MacGowan And The Popes

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
  E A x4:


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

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


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


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

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



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