like: G Bm7 Em D G Bm7 Em D - but it's all in the bass)

*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
Open my presents and [D]I'd be glad
[Em]But the last time I [Bm]played Father Christmas
[Em]I stood outside a dep[B7]artment store
[G]A gang of kids came over and mugged me
They knocked my reindeer [D]to the floor
And said F[C]ather [G]Christmas [C]give us some [G]money
[C]Don't mess a[G]round with those [C] silly t[D]oys
We'll [C]beat you [G]up if you [C]don't hand it [G]over
[C]We want your b[G]read so don't m[C]ake us ann[D]oyed
Give all the t[C]oys [D] -
to the little rich b[G]oys[C] [D] [G] [C] [D]
[G]Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a c[D]uddly toy
We d[G]on't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the r[D]eal Macoy
[C]Father [G]Christmas [C]give us the [G]money
[C]We'll beat you [G]up if you m[C]ake us anno[D]yed
[C]Father [G]Christmas [C]give us some [G]money
[C]Don't mess [G]around with th[C]ose silly t[D]oys
[Em]But give my daddy a [Bm]job 'cos he needs one
[Em]He's got lots of m[B7]ouths to feed
[G]And if you've got one I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the [D]kids on the street
[C] [G] [C] [G]
[C]Father C[G]hristmas g[C]ive us some m[G]oney
[C]We've got no t[G]ime for your s[C]illy [D]toys
