As I said earlier, of all time, and quite rightly so.
Here to perform Fairy Tale of New York for the first time on television since 1988,
will you please welcome with the lovely Katie Mellor, The Pogues, ladies and [G] gentlemen.
[Dm]
[G] [E] [D] [A] [G] There was [A]
Christmas [D] Eve, babe
[A] And a [G] drunk tank
And an old [D] man said to me
Won't see [G] another [A] one
But [G] then [A] he [D] sang a song
To rare [G] old mountain dew
I turned [D] my face away
[G] And [C#] dreamed [D] about [A] you
[G] [A] Got on that [D] lucky one
Came in [G] 18 to 1
I've got a [D] feeling
This year's for me [G] and you
[A] [G] So [A] happy [D] Christmas
I [G] love you baby
I can [D] see a better time
[Bm] When all [D] our dreams come [G] true
[D]
[G] [E] [D] [A] [D]
[G] They [A] [D] [A] got cars, they [Bm] got cars, they got rivers [G] of gold
[D] But the rain goes right through you, [A] small place with [Bm] you
When you first took my hand on [G] a cold [D] Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway [A] was waiting [D] for me
You had to know
You're a pretty queen of New York City
[G] When the band [A] finished playing they called out [D] for more
So now the drunks are singing, all the boys are singing
[G] We kissed in [A] the corner and danced through [G] the night
The boys in the white beaded [D] choir were singing, [Bm] go away
[D] And the [G] bells were [A] ringing out for [D] Christmas [A] Day
[Bm] [G] [D] [A] [D]
[G] [D] [A] [D] You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an old slum and junk liar
[G] There I'm a [A] dead-end, I'm [D] tripping, that's bad
You scum bag, you maggot, you cheap, [A] lousy, fat
[D] And happy [G] Christmas, you're [F#m] ass, I pray God [D] it's all off
[G] The boys in the white beaded choir [D] are singing, go [Bm] away
[D] And the [G] bells are ringing [A] out for Christmas [D] Day
[G]
I [D] [G] [A]
[D] [A] [D] could have been someone
Well, so [G] could anyone
You took [D] my dreams from me
When I [A] first found you
I [D] kept them with me, babe
I [G] put them with my own
Try [D] to make it all on my [G] own
I built my [A] dreams [D] around you
The [G] boys in the white beaded choir [D] are singing, [Bm] go away
[D] And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
[G] [D]
[A] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [A] [D] [A] Well, [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [A] so could anyone
You [D]
took my [G] dreams from me
I kept them with me, babe
I put them with my own
Try to make it all on my own
I built my dreams around you
The boys in the white beaded choir
