[A] It was Christmas [D] Eve babe, in the [G] drunk tank
An old man [D] said to me, won't [G] see a-[A]nother one [A7]
And then he [D] sang a song, the Rare Old [G] Mountain Dew
I turned my [D] face away and [G] dreamed a-[A]bout [D] you [A]
{c: }
Got on a [D] lucky one, came in eight-[G]een to one
I've got a [D] feeling this year's for [A] me and you [A7]
So happy [D] Christmas, I love you [G] baby
I can see a [D] better time when [G] all our [Asus4] dreams come [D] true
{c: }
[G] / [D][G] / [A][D] /
[D][G]/[D][A]/[D][G]/[A][D]
They've got [D] cars big as [A] bars, they've got [Bm] rivers of [G] gold
But the [D] wind goes right through you, it's no place for the [A] old
When you [D] first took my [Bm] hand on a [D] cold Christmas [G] Eve
You [D] promised me Broadway was [A] waiting for [D] me
{c: }
You were [D] handsome, you were pretty, Queen of New York [A] City
When the [D] band finished [G] playing they [A] howled out for [D] more
Si-[D]natra was swinging, all the drunks they were [A] singing
We [D] kissed on the [G] corner then [A] danced through the [D] night
{c: }
The [G] boys of the NY[Bm]PD [A] choir were [D] singing "Galway [Bm] Bay"
And the [D] bells were [G] ringing [A] out for Christmas [D] day
{sos}
They've got [D] cars big as [A] bars, they've got [Bm] rivers of [G] gold
But the [D] wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the [A] old
When you [D] first took my [Bm] hand on a [D] cold Christmas [G] Eve
You [D] promised me Broadway was [A] waiting for [D] me
{eos}
You're a [D] bum, you're a punk, you're an old slut on [A] junk
Lying [D] there almost [G] dead on a [A] drip in that [D] bed
You [D] scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy [A] faggot
Happy [D] Christmas your [G] arse, I pray [A] God it's our [D] last
{c: }
The [G] boys of the NY[Bm]PD [A] choir were [D] singing "Galway [Bm] Bay"
And the [D] bells were [G] ringing [A] out for Christmas [D] day
{sos}
It was Christmas [D] Eve babe, in the [G]drunk tank [G]
An old man [D] said to me, won't see a-[A]nother one [A7]
{eos}
I [A] could have [D] been someone, well so could [G] anyone
You took my [D] dreams from me when I first [A] found you [A7]
I kept them [D] with me babe, I put them [G] with my own
Can't make it [D] all alone, I've built my [G] dreams a-[A]round [D] you
{c: }
The [G] boys of the NY[Bm]PD [A] choir were [D] singing "Galway [Bm] Bay"
And the [D] bells were [G] ringing [A] out for Christmas [D] day
The [G] boys of the NY[Bm]PD [A] choir were [D] singing "Galway [Bm] Bay"
And the [D] bells were [G] ringing [A] out for Christmas [D] day [G] [D]
