[D] [G]
[D] It was [A] Christmas [D] Eve, babe
In the drunk [G] tank
[E] An old man [D] said to me
Won't see another [A] one
On them we sang [D] a song
The [G] rare old mountain dew
I turned my face [D] away
And dreamed [A] [D] about you
[A]
Got on a lucky [D] one
[A] Coming 18 [G] to 1
I've got [B] a [D] feeling
This year's from [A] beginning
So [D] happy Christmas
[A] I love you, baby
[G] I can see [D] a better time
When [A] all our dreams [D] come true
[G] They
[A] [D] [A] [D]
got cars big as bars
They got [G] rivers of [D] gold
But the wind blows right through you
It's no [A] place for the old
When you [Bm] first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway
Was [D] waiting for me You're handsome
You're a pretty queen
[A] [D] When the band finished playing
They had all of them off
Sinatra was singing
All the dukesmen were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced [E] through the night
[G] The boys in the envelope
In [A] a choir [D] were singing Broadway play
And the bells were ringing [A] out
For Christmas Day
[D]
[A] [D]
You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an old slut and junk
Living [G] there on the stripe
In that [D] drippy nightbed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap, cheap, out, you faggot
Happy Christmas, you arse-art
Thank God it's our [G] lot
The boys in the envelope
In a choir [D] were singing [Bm] Broadway play
[D] And the [G] bells were [A] ringing out
For Christmas Day
I [G] [D]
[A] [D] [A] [D] could have been someone
Well, [G] so could anyone
You [D] took my dreams from me
When I first [A] found you
I [D] kept them with me, babe
I put them [G] with my own
[D] Can't make it all alone
I've built my [A] dreams [D] around you
[G] The boys in the envelope
[D] In a choir were singing [Bm] Broadway play
[D] And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas Day
