I realised that no place on the internet seemed to have a tab of this song so I 
thought I'd give it a try, hopefully I didn't do too badly :]


INTRO:  F x4

F
I?m looking forward to Christmas
           Bb                               F
It?s sentimental I know, but I just really like it
F
I?m, I?m hardly religious
                   Bb                                        F       
I?d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest
               C                                  C7
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
                                       Bb
The commercialisation of an ancient religion

And the western-isation of a dead Palestinian
                                             F
Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer
                            C
But I still really like it.


F
I, I really like Christmas
               Bb                      F
Though I?m not expecting a visit from Jesus
                   C     
I?ll be seeing my dad
     C7                                 Dm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
                                       Bb
They?ll be drinking white wine in the sun
                   C
I?ll be seeing my dad
    C7                                 Dm
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
                                    Bb
We?ll be drinking white wine in the sun.



F
I don?t go for ancient wisdom
           Bb                                                          F
I don?t believe just ?cause ideas are tenacious it means that they?re worthy
F
I get freaked out by churches
             Bb                                                       F
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy
               C                                       
And yes I have all of the usual objections 
               C7                                         Bb
To the mis-education of children forced into a cult institution

And taught to externalise blame

And to feel ashamed
                                        F
And to judge things as plain right and wrong
                      C
But I quite like the songs.


F
I?m not expecting big presents
    Bb                                                             F
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me.
                          C
?Cause I?ll be seeing my dad
    C7                                 Dm
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
                                       Bb
They?ll be drinking white wine in the sun
                   C
I?ll be seeing my dad
   C7                                  Dm
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
                                       Bb
They?ll be drinking white wine in the sun.



    Bb
And you my baby girl
    F
My jetlagged infant daughter
           Bb
You?ll be handed round the room
        F
Like a puppy at a primary school
    Bb
And you?re too young to know
               F            
But you will learn yourself one day
          Bb
That wherever you are and whatever you face
C7                                                       Dm
These are the people who?ll make you feel safe in this world
                   Fsus4
My sweet blue-eyed girl


        Bb
And if my baby girl
              F
When you?re twenty-one or thirty-one
     Bb
And Christmas comes around
         F
And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
        C7           Csus4
You?ll know whatever comes
       C7                                Dm
Your brother and sister, and me and your mum
                               Bb
Will be waiting for you in the sun
C7                   Csus4
Girl, when Christmas comes
C7                                                            
Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles
       C7                                   Dm
Your grandparents, cousins, and me and your mum
                                    Bb    
Will be drinking white wine in the sun
           F
We?ll be waiting for you in the sun
Bb
Baby, whenever you come
                                     F7
We?ll be drinking white wine in the sun
 Bb
Waiting.


F
I, I really like Christmas
           Bb            F
It?s sentimental I know.
