D
It was Christmas Eve babe
G
In the drunk tank
D
An old man said to me
A
Won't see another one
D
And then he sang a song
G
The rare old mountain dew
D
I turned my face away
A D A
And dreamed about you
D
Got on a lucky one
G
Came in eighteen to one
D
I´ve got a feeling
A
This year´s for me and you
D
So Happy Christmas
G
I love you baby
D
I can see a better time
G A D
Where all our dreams come true
G, D, A, D
A, Bm, G, D
A, D, A, D
G, D, A, D
D A
They got cars big as bars
Bm G
They got rivers of gold
D G
But the wind goes right through you
D A
It´s no place for the old
D A
When you first took my hand
D G
On a cold Christmas Eve
D
You promised me Broadway
A D
was waiting for me
D A
You were handsome you were pretty
D G
Queen of New York City
D G
When the band finished playing
A D
They yelled out for more
D A
Sinatra was swinging
D G
All the drunks they were singing
D G
We kissed on a corner
A D
Then danced through the night.
G
And the boys of the NYPD choir
D Bm
Were singing Galway Bay
D G A
And the bells were ringing out
D
For Christmas Day
D, A, D, G
D, G, A, D
D A
You´re a bum you´re a punk
D A
You´re an old slut on junk
D G
Lying there almost dead
A D
On a drip in that bed
D A
You scumbag you maggot
D G
You cheap lousy faggot
D G
Happy christmas your arse
A D
I pray god it´s our last.
G
And the boys of the NYPD choir
D Bm
are still singing Galway Bay
D G A
And the bells are ringing out
D
For Christmas Day
D, G, D, A
D
I could have been someone
G
Well so could anyone
D
You took my dreams from me
A
When I first found you
D
I kept them with me babe
G
I put them with my own
D
Can´t make it all alone
G A D A
I´ve built my dreams around you
G
And the boys of the NYPD choir
D Bm
are still singing Galway Bay
D G A
And the bells are ringing out
D
For Christmas Day
