[D]
[A] [D] It was Christmas [A] [D] Eve, babe
In [G] the drunk tank
[D] An old man said to me
Won't see another [A] one
On them we [D] sang a song
The [G] rare old mountain dew
That turned my face [D] away
[G] One dreamed [D] about you
[A] Got on a [D] lucky one
Came in a [G] tinsel one
I've got a feeling
[D] This year's [A] from beginning
So happy [D] Christmas
I love you, [G] baby
I can [D] see a better time
When all our dreams come true
[A]
[D] They got cars big as bars
[Bm] They got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's [A] no place for the old
When you first took [Bm] my hand
On a [D] cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway
Was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty clean
[A] I knew you were sitting
When the band finished playing
They [D] held out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the junk we were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced [E] through the night
[G] The boys of the Ambulate [D] Pity Choir
Were singing [Bm] Go Away Babe
And the bells were ringing [A] out
For Christmas Day
[D]
[A] [D]
You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an old slut and junk
Blowing air on the [A] stead
And a drip in that [D] bed
You scumbag, you maggot
Cheap cheap and you're haggard
Happy Christmas, you're ours
I pray God it's our [G] lot
The boys of the Ambulate Pity Choir
[D] Still singing [Bm] Go Away Babe
[D] And the bells were ringing [A] out
For Christmas [D] Day
I [G] [D]
[A] could [D] have been someone
Well so [G] could anyone
You took [D] my dreams from me
When I [A] first found you
I kept them [D] with me babe
I put them [G] with my own
Can't [D] make it all alone
I've built my dreams [A] around [D] you
[G] The boys of the Ambulate Pity Choir
Still singing Go Away Babe
[D] And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas Day
