[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
