by Paul Kelly

Strumming
D---D--U-UD--UDU



[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
