Hi Everyone,

I have been working on this Christmas song for a while. I totally missed the deadline but kept going when I got a spare few minutes.

I hope that you like it.

G                                 C          G                                    D
Ah, it looks like it's time to bring in the Christmas tree
G                             C        G                            D
And there, I can see a pile of Christmas CDs
F                                                                             E
I can hear the sounds of someone making a pudding
F                                                                         E
I can smell the aroma of other Christmas goodies
G                                        F              C
There's tinsel hanging everywhere
F                                         C               D7
There's glitter sprinkled here and there

Em                          Am
I guess I have to admit it
Em                              Am
There's no avoiding this
C                                      F                          D
As Summer's golden rays warm the air
C                                          F                    D7
We cruise towards the inevitable despair  (Christmas faire)

G                                   C                         G     Gsus 2
We welcome in our sisters and our brothers
G                                      C                     G   Gsus 2
Our other friends and all of our mothers
C                    Em                      Am             D
We be, we commune and share some time
C                      Em             Am          D7
We pass the food and pour the wine

G                        C                         G     Gsus 2
And when its done we all pause
G                        C                         G     Gsus 2
To repeat the words of Mr Clause
C                           D                     C            D
He said, as he smiled and turned out the light
   C                                 F                D              G
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight."

This is great fun! I love the understated tongue-in-cheek weariness of the lyrics, the jangly guitars and the antipodean weather.
Nice one Ian!

Nice job Ian, love the jangle. Never too late for a Christmas song.    Willie

Very festive and nice lyrics. All very well put together. Maybe it'll be the Christmas no. 1 next year.......

Just perfect Christmas vibe here...I can almost imagine a choir of children singing the chorus. Great job, Ian!

I loved it. And I agree, it's never too late for a Christmas song.
