[Verse 1]
        C             G/B
Got the card that you sent,
         Am7          G
It's all tattered and bent,
        F              Fsus2      F  Fsus2
Where I fished it back out of the bin,
      C             G/B
And beneath our old tree,
           Am7         G
There's no present for me,
       F             Fsus2  F Fsus2
Just a bottle of Dry London Gin,
      C         G/B      Am7          G
And I wonder if you ever think of the two of us,
F               Fsus2       F  Fsus2
Now that you're living with him.
 
 
[Chorus]
      C    G/B  Am7    G           F  Fsus2  F  Fsus2
And I hope you  have a Bloody Good Xmas.
 
 
[Verse 2]
         C               G/B
Well the speech from the Queen,
        Am7         G
And the movies I've seen before,
     F                   Fsus2 F  Fsus2
Just served to widen the hole,
     C          G/B
So I finished my beer,
          Am7       G
And in an effort to cheer myself,
F                    Fsus2 F  Fsus2
Went for a leisurely stroll,
       C        G/B
But my modeling shoes,
        Am7         G
Took me back to the boozer and,
F                      Fsus2 F  Fsus2
Ushered me in from the cold.
 
 
[Chorus]
      C    G/B  Am7    G           F  Fsus2  F  Fsus2
And I hope you  have a Bloody Good Xmas,
      C    G/B  Am7    G           Fsus2 F  Fsus2
And I hope you  have a Bloody Good Xmas.
 
 
[Bridge]
       Am                    F
And if beggars belief what a hollow relief,
        C
You can gain,
                 G/B
From a double or four,
         Am
When the morning still brings,
        F
With it yesterday's sting,
          D                         F
As you're scraping yourself off the floor.
 
 
[Verse 3]
         C         G/B
Tell the kids I'm okay,
          Am7     G
But there isn't a day,
          F         Fsus2 F         Fsus2
That goes by when I don't miss them so,
        C                G/B
And I'm glad that you're well,
      Am7           G        Fsus2 F
And I hope your new fella forgives me,
                 Fsus2
For breaking his nose,
        C        G/B
Cos I'm almost resigned,
       Am7           G
To the whole grand design of it,
Fsus2       F            Fsus2 F
Reaping the harvest I've sown,
       F          Fmaj7        Dm
A door opens when one has been closed.
Dm
Yeah . . .
 
 
[Chorus]
      C    G/B  Am7    G           F  Fsus2  F  Fsus2
And I hope you  have a Bloody Good Xmas,
      C    G/B  Am7    G           F  Fsus2  F  Fsus2
And I hope you  have a Bloody Good Xmas,     oooh
      C    G/B  Am7    G           F  Fsus2  F  Fsus2
And I hope you  have a Bloody Good Xmas,     yeah,
      C    G/B  Am7    G           F  Fsus2  F
And I hope you  have a Bloody Good Xmas,
         Fsus2  C
And a happy New Year.
