White Wine In The Sun by Tim Minchin
White Wine In The Sun
Capo V (Original key F)
C
I really like Christmas
F C
It's sentimental, I know, but I just really like it
C
I am hardly religious
F C
I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu, to be honest
G G7
And yes, I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
F
To the commercialisation of an ancient religion to the westernisation of a dead Palestinian
C
Press-ganged into selling Playstations and beer
G G6 G7
But I still really like it

I'm looking forward to Christmas

Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus

I'll be seeing my dad

F Fm C
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy
G
And yes I have all of the usual objections
G7 F
To the mis-education of children who, in tax-exempt institutions,
Are taught to externalise blame

Dm7 G11
You'll be handed round the room like a puppy at a primary school
Fadd2 C/E
And you won't understand but you will learn someday
Dm7
That wherever you are and whatever you face
G11 E7 Am Am/G
These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world

This is a beautiful song to both listen to and play along to, however, being that it is the key of F, it is
hard work on the wrist, as you'd know, to play constant barre chords. So I decided to transpose what I had
worked out using a capo in the 5th fret. I stole this idea from Tim himself as there is a YouTube video of
him performing this song with Brian Cox on piano and Tim on guitar using a capo.
