[D] [G] [D] [G] [A]
[D] It was Christmas Eve, babe
[G] In the drunk tank
An old [D] man said to me
Won't see [B] another one
[A] And [D] then he sang this song
The [G] red mountain dew
And I turned [D] my face away
[G] And [A] dreamed [D] about you
Got on a lucky one
Came [G] in 18 to 1
[D] I've got a feeling
This [B] year's for me and you
[A] So [D] happy Christmas
I [G] love you, baby
I can see [D] a better time
When [G] [A] all our [D] dreams come true
[G] [D] [G] [A] [D]
[G] [A] [D] They've got [A] cars, big as bars
[Bm] They've got rivers [G] of gold
[D] And the wind goes right through you
No place for the old
When you first took [Bm] my hand
On [D] a cold [G] Christmas Eve
[D] You promised me far away
[A] But waiting [D] for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New [D] York City
When the band [G] finished playing
[A] They howled out [D] for more
Soon after we're swinging
All the drums they [A] will sing
[G] We kissed on the corner
And [A] then dropped to [G] goodnight
The boys [Bm] in the NYPD
[D] Choir still singing
God, we [Bm] pray
And the [G] bells were [A] ringing out
For [D] Christmas [A] Day
[Bm] [G] [D]
[A] [D] [Bm] [D] [G] [D]
[D] You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an [A] old slut on [D] junk
Living [G] there almost [A] dead
On a [D] drip in that bed
You scum bag, you knackered
Cheep cheep, love you snagged
Happy [G] Christmas to [A] all of you
Thank [D] God it's all [G] lost
And the boys in the [Bm] [D] NYPD
Choir still singing
[Bm] God, we pray
And the [G] bells were [A] ringing out
For Christmas [D] Day

[A] I [D] could have been someone
Well, [G] so could anyone
You [D] took my dreams from me
When [A] I first found you
I kept [D] them with me, babe
I [G] put them with my own
Can't [D] make it all alone
I've [G] built my [A] dreams [D] around you
