KINKS

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

C G C G

C G C G

Father Christmas give us some money

C G C D

We've got no time for your 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

to the little rich boys

G C D G C D

G

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas

D

Have yourself a good time

G

But remember the kids who got nothing

D

While you're drinking down your wine

C G C G

Father Christmas give us some money

C G C D

We've got no time for your silly toys

C G C D

C G C D

We'll beat you up so don't make us annoyed

C G C G

Father Christmas give us some money

C G C D

Dont mess around with those silly toys

C G C D

We'll beat you up if you dont hand it over

C G C D

We want your bread so don't make us annoyed

C D G C D

Give all the toys - to the little rich boys

G C D C G D ... fade out
