[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.
