[Intro]

N.C. B B B B
 
B E F# x4
 
[Verse]
 
B          Ebm       Abm       F#
When I was young I believed in Santa Claus
B        Ebm     Abm    F#
Though I knew it was my dad
B           Ebm        Abm         F#
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
B       Ebm          Abm    F#
Open my presents and I'd be glad
Abm     F#          E             F#
But the last time I played Father Christmas
Abm        F#        E       F#
I stood outside a department store
B         Ebm        Abm     F#
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
B              Ebm      Abm    F#      F#
And knocked my reindeer to the floor
 
[Chorus]
They said:
E      B          E  E            B
Father Christmas,    give us some money
E          B           E     E     B
Don't mess around with those silly toys
E              B         E     E       B
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
E            B               E   E     B
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
E            E     F#
Give all the toys
N.C.
To the little rich boys
 
B E F# x4
 
[Verse]
B             Ebm       Abm          F#
Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
B             Ebm      Abm    F#
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
B               Ebm       Abm      F#
We don't want a jigsaw or Monopoly money
B       Ebm      Abm  F#
We only want the real McCoy
 
[Chorus]
E      B         E  E            B
Father Christmas,   give us some money
E              B            E  E    B
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
E      B         E  E            B
Father Christmas,   give us some money
E           B      E   E           B
Don't mess around with those silly toys
 
[Verse]
Abm         F#      E             F#
But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
Abm        F#     E         F#
He's got a lot of mouths to feed
B             Ebm           Abm    F#
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
B        Ebm           Abm           F#
So I can scare all the kids down the street
 
[Chorus]
E      B         E  E            B
Father Christmas,   give us some money
E         B        E    E     B
We got no time for your silly toys
E              B         E     E       B
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
E            B              E    E    B
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
E            E     F#
Give all the toys
