[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
