Gaz Coombes & Adam Buxton - I believe in Father Christmas Chords

Oh, who's that?
I bet [Eb] it's Taylor Swift.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ Hey!
Hello.
It's [G] Gaz Coombs from the [G] Supergrass, the Hot Rats and the Gaz [Bb] Coombs.
Can I come [Gb] in?
Of course.
It's really freezing.
It's absolutely freezing.
[Eb] _
[G] Brassic Parker.
_ Oh, [F] man.
I'm actually glad that you [Eb] weren't Taylor Swift.
[G] Well, that would have been [E] strange.
A little bit creepy, maybe, in this environment.
[Cm] Instead, we're [C] just two hairy 90s guys in [F] a Christmasy shed.
What could be less creepy than [E] that?
It looks great in here, man.
I mean, do you need [Cm] any kind of Christmas music [Gm] to go with this?
That would be [Am] ideal.
I mean, it's weird that you [D] were just walking by,
but if you're cool with just playing something, I [Bb] would love it.
How's life anyway, man?
What are you up to?
Yeah, it's good.
I've just finished [F] a new album.
It's called [Bb] Matador.
Good.
[Eb] It's out in the new year, January.
_ _ _ [Gm] Not really a [A] promotional type of a show.
It's just a Christmas show.
That's fine.
We don't have to talk about that stuff.
[Bb] All right, good.
Cool.
[G] _
I mean, [Gb] no, it's out in January.
Is it?
I just put my heart and soul into it.
Did you?
And I'm very [Dm] pleased.
[F] Yeah.
Embarrassing.
But listen, how do you feel about maybe playing someone else's song?
Well, I did wonder.
It's so beautiful in here.
I thought you could do with some Christmas music.
That's what I was thinking.
How do you feel about Chris Rea?
Mainly sad, a bit [Eb] confused.
_ [C] _ [Bb] Some Greg Lake?
[G] Now you're talking my prog language.
Yeah.
See a bit of Lake?
I believe [F] in Father Christmas.
It can only be.
You know?
That would be ideal.
With that nice little Prokofiev riff there in the middle.
Can you do that for me?
I can play that on my pocket keyboard.
How's that?
Yeah, that's exciting.
Let's do it.
All right.
Thank you.
_ And hey, Merry Christmas.
Hey, same to you.
Thanks.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] Oh, yeah.
Christmas it up, Jesus of [D] Gazareth. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[G] And the Christmas [D] tree smell.
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They sold me a dream of Christmas.
_ They sold me a silent night. _
And they told me a fairy story.
Said I believed in the _ Israelite.
[A] _ I _ [D] believed in Father Christmas.
[A] And I looked at [G] the sky [D] with excited eyes.
Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn.
And I saw him and threw his disguise. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I wish you a hopeful Christmas.
I wish you a brave new year. _ _
With champagne and sadness. _
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.
[G] _
They said there'll [D] be snow at Christmas.
[G] _ They said there'll [D] be peace on earth.
Hallelujah, _ Noel.
Be it heaven or hell.
The Christmas we get we deserve.
_ _ _ _ Take it away, Ivan. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ One more time. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, that was great, man.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks for having [E] me.
Not at all. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Thank you so much for watching.
Hope you have a great [A] one and maybe see you next year.
Take care.
Love you.
