Christmas Is Here Lyrics

Intro: G C G C
Verse 1:
Christmas is here but what do you care anyway
War isn't over at all, you say, and walk away
and blind as a bat
you fire your echo at
the holy, bloody Mary
Chorus:
and all you sing to salute your king
is bye bye lullabye-byes
bye bye lullabyebye
no blackbirds sing in the dead of night
Verse 2:
Christmas is here but what do you care anyway
you say your heart was taken and given away
blind as a bat
you fire your echo at
the holy, bloody Mary
Chorus 2:
open your eyes! watch the sky turn white!
oh, dear friend, come to my house again..
Bridge/Outro(repeat chord pattern)
because you are still here
and I'm still there for you
and christmas is here
and swans appear
like snow in the air
and suddenly we hear:
//:the kingdom is near
and christmas is here:// x4
