FATHER CHRISTMAS Ray Davies
(The *G thru *D sequences could probably be played as something more
like: G Bm7 Em D G Bm7 Em D - but it's all in the bass)
C G C G C G C G
G C D G C D G C D G C D
*G
When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
*D
'Though I knew it was my dad
G
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
D
Open my presents and I'd be glad
Em Bm
But the last time I played Father Christmas
Em B7
I stood outside a department store
G
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
D
They knocked my reindeer to the floor
C G C G
And said Father Christmas give us some money
C G C D
Don't mess around with those silly toys
C G C G
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
C G C D
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
C D
Give all the toys -
G C D G C D
to the little rich boys
G
Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
D
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
G
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
D
We only want the real Macoy
C G C G
Father Christmas give us the money
C G C D
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
C G C G
Father Christmas give us some money
C G C D
Don't mess around with those silly toys
Em Bm
But give my daddy a job 'cos he needs one
Em B7
He's got lots of mouths to feed
G
And if you've got one I'll have a machine gun
D
So I can scare all the kids on the street

Father Christmas give us some money
