Some say that Jesus had a daughter

Em D C

But I don’t guess he ever met her

Em D C

And she had never met her father

Em D C

No, I guess this world couldn’t let her

No, this world needed a martyr

And, hey, it’s hard to understand

You got to take away the man

All dragon wings and dragon fire

Then dragon bones beneath the land

So tonight, when the clouds break

Em D C

With all the lightning and the thunder

Hey, come find me ’neath the lights of the tiki bars, honey

Hey, it’s Christmas down under
