Chords for Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill Perform "Fairytale of New York" at Shane MacGowan's Funeral

[D] was Christmas Eve
In [G] the drunk time
_ an old [D] man said to me
_ Won't see another [A] one
And [D] then he sang a song
The [G] rare old mountain dew
I [D] turned my face away
And dreamed about [A] you
Got [D] on a lucky one
_ Came in [G] _ 1821
I've [D] got a feeling
_ This year's [A] for me and you
So [D] happy Christmas
I love you [G] baby
I can see [D] a better time
When all our dreams come true
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sing a carol, sing a song, sing a song
When the wind blows right through you, there's no place for the oars
When your voice drops my hand on the cold, rich sea
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
You were pretty, queen of New York City
When the [G] band finished [A] playing, they [D] all got some more
Turned their heads to a swing, on the drums they were singing
We kissed on the collar and danced through the night
[G] And the boys from the NYPD choir
[D] Were singing [Bm] Golly, babe
[D] And the bells were [A] ringing out for Christmas [Bm] Day
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ You're a bum, you're a pump
You're an old slut, you're a blind dare
Almost dead on a trip in [D] that bed
It's for baggage, you cheap, lousy, fragging
Happy Christmas, you assholes, that's all it does
[G] The boys from the NYPD [D] choir
Were singing [Bm] Golly babe
[D] And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ Well I'm sure [G] _ _ you took [D] my ring from me
When [A] I first found you
But [D] hold on
I put [G] them with my own, I [D] make it all alone.
I built my trees around you.
_ [G] The boys from the NYPD [D] choir were singing [Bm] all the day.
[D] The bells were ringing out for Christmas Day.
