[C#] Thank you very much everybody.
I was [F#] walking on the Hammersmith Broadway one [G#] night
Maybe 10 or 20 or 30 years [C#] ago
I can never remember which but I heard a man from [F#] Tipperary singing this song and
[G#] Asked him to sing it again and again and again until I had the [C#] words and then I started singing it myself
It was [G#] Christmas [C#] Eve, babe
in [F#] the drunk tank
and [C#] a man said son I
Won't [G#] see another one and [C#] then he sang a song
the [F#] rare
Mountain dew I
[C#] Turned my eyes away and [F#] [G#] thought about [C#] You
God [G#]
I'm [C#] the lucky one
Came in [F#] at 18 to one
I've [C#] got a feeling
[F#] This [G#] year's for me and you happy
[C#] Christmas how I [F#] love you, baby
There's gonna [C#] be good times
[F#] When [G#] all our dreams [C#] come true
[G#] They [C#] got cars biggest bars.
They got rivers [F#] of gold [C#] the wind blows right through you.
It's no [G#] place for the old
[C#] When the first took your hand on the cold [G#] Christmas Eve
[C#] Oh, but told [F#] you that Broadway [G#] waiting [C#] for me
You were handsome and pretty Queen of New York City when the band [F#] finished [G#] playing the crowd howled for [C#] more
Sinatra was singing and all the crowd they were [G#] swinging
[C#] Oh, we kissed [F#] on the corner [G#] and we danced around [C#] the floor [F#] and the boys from the NYTD [G#] choir [C#] were singing
[G#] [A#m] Galway Bay [G#] and the bells [F#] were [G#] ringing out on Christmas [C#] Day
[F#] Though
[C#] [F#]
[G#] [F#] [G#] I could [C#] have been someone and so [F#] could anyone I
[C#] Took my dreams from you.
Oh
When I first [G#] met you I
[C#] Kept them with me, babe
And I put [F#] them with my own
Can't make [C#] it all alone
[F#] I've [G#] built some of the dreams [C#] around you
[G#] Well, [C#] you're a bum you're a punk you're an owl [F#] who run junk [C#] layin there under the roof nearly [G#] dead in the bed
Yes, come back you maggot [C#] yet she blows the faggot
I think [F#] Christmas me ass [G#] Oh my brother [C#] be dead [F#] and the boys from the NYPD
[G#] choir [C#] were singing
[G#] [A#m] Galway Bay
[C#] And the bells were ringing [G#] out on Christmas [C#] Day.
Oh, I love you, [F#] baby
I've [C#] got a feeling
[G#] This year's for me and you happy [C#]
Christmas.
Oh, I love [F#] you, baby
There's gonna [C#] be good times
When [F#] [G#] all our dreams [C#] come true
[G#] So happy [C#] Christmas.
I love you, baby said
[G#m] Shane McGowan [C#] from Pucon and the County Tipperary one grand Friday morning
I took him by the hand and I gazed into his Tipperary eyes and I I kissed him on the lips
I said hey Shane.
I love you too, baby.
Okay
