[G] [D] [A] [D]
[A] It was [D] Christmas Eve, babe, in [G] the drunk tank, an old [F#m] man said to me, [D] won't see [A] another one.
And [D] then he sang a song, the rare [G] old Mountain Dew.
I [F#m] turned my face away [D] [G] and [A] dreamed about you, God, [D] I'm the lucky one.
It came [G] in a ten to one.
I've [D] got a feeling this [A] year's for me and you.
So [D] happy Christmas.
I [G] love you, baby.
I can [D] see a better time when [E] all our dreams [D] come true.
[G] [Bm] [A] [D]
[A] [D] [G] [A] [D] They've got cars big as bars, [Bm] they've got [G] rivers of gold.
[D] When the wind blows right through you,
it's no place [A] for the old.
[D] When you first [Bm] took my hand [D] on that cold [D] Christmas Eve,
you promised [A] me Broadway was 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.
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks, they [A] were singing.
[D] We kissed on the corner,
[A] then danced [G] through the night.
The boys [Bm] of the [A] NYPD choir [D] were singing,
[Bm] Galway Bay.
[D] And the bells [A] were ringing out [D] for Christmas Day.
[G] [D]
[D] [D]
[A] [D] You're a bum punk, you're [A] an old slut, [D] a junk lying [G] there, almost [A] dead on a drip in that [D] bed.
You scumbag, you maggot, you [A] cheap, lousy [D] faggot.
[G] Happy Christmas, your ass, I [A] pray God it's [G] our
last.
The boys [A] of the [A] NYPD [D] choir were singing, [A] Galway [Bm] Bay.
And [G] the bells [A] were ringing out
for [D] Christmas Day.
[G] [D]
[A] I could have [D] been someone.
Well, [G] so could anyone.
You took [D] my dreams from me when I [A] first found you.
I [D] kept them with me, babe,
and I [G] put them with my own.
Can't make [D] it all alone, I build my [A] dreams [D] around you.
[G] The boys of the [Bm] NYPD [A] choir [D] were singing, [Bm] Galway [D] Bay.
And the bells were ringing out
for Christmas Day.
[G] [D]
[A] [D]
[G] [D]

Happy [A] Christmas!

See [G] [D]
