Jethro Tull – A Christmas Song (Ukulele)

C       G     D       Am   (mandolin)
Once in Royal David's City

C       G      D      Am
stood a lonely cattle shed,

C       G      D        Am
where a mother held her baby.

         C         G          D               Am
You'd do well to remember the things He later said.

C           G                   D                Am
When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties,

C           G            D                  Am
you'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.

C      G           D                            Am
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making

C              G         D            Am
that Christmas spirit is not what you drink.

C              G               D            Am
So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry,

C               G              D                       Am
and how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?

C             G               D           Am
And if I just messed up your  thoughtless pleasures,

C                G           D                  Am
remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song.
