Jethro Tull - Christmas Song Chords & Tabs

Jethro Tull 
A Christmas Song


capo 2

C        G     D      Am
Once in royal davids city 
  C      G      D       Am Em Am
stood a lonely cattle shed,
  C      G      D        Am
Where a mother held her baby.
         C         G           D        Am G Em  Am
Youd do well to remember the things he later    said.

             C           G               D       Am
When youre stuffing yourselves at the christmas parties,
            C            G         D        Am Em   Am
Youll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
       C           G        D                  Am    C Em Am
Youre missing the point Im sure does not need making
        C        G      D D    G   Em   Am
That christmas spirit is not what you drink.

    C           G              D            Am
So how can you laugh when your own mothers hungry,
     C            G             D           Am G   Em    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 G Em  Am
Remember, if you wish, this is just a christmas song.
