[D] [G] [D] [G] [A]
[D] [A] It was Christmas [D] Eve, babe
In [G] the drunk tank
An old [D] man said to me
Won't see another [Em] one
[A] On them we [D] sang a song
The [G] rare old mountain dew
I turned my [A] face [D] away
[G] And [A] dreamed [D] about [A] you
Got on the [D] lucky one
[A] Coming in ten [G] to one
I've got [A] a [D] feeling
This year's for me and [A] you
So happy [D] Christmas
I [A] love you, [G] baby
I can [D] see a better time
When [A] all our [D] dreams come true
[G] They [A] [D]
[G] [A] [D]
[G] [A] [D] got [A] cars big as bars
[Bm] They got rivers [G] of [D] gold
But the wind goes right through you
[A] It's no place for the old
[D] When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas [G] Eve
[D] You promised [A] me Broadway
[D] Was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty queen
[A] I knew you were sitting
When the [G] band finished [A] playing
They [D] held up the mall
Sinatra was swinging
All the dumps went whistling
We kissed [G] on a [A] corner
Then danced [G] through the night
The boys of the NYPD
[D] Choir was singing
Go [Bm] away, babe
[D] And the bells [G] were ringing [A] out
[D] For Christmas Day
[G] [D] [A] [D]
[G] [D] You're an old [A] slut and [D] jumbler
And they're [G] almost dead
[A] On a dripping [D] night bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap, [A] filthy faggot
[D] Happy Christmas [G] to your arse
I [A] thank God it's [G] our law
The boys of the NYPD
[D] Choir's still singing
[Bm] Go away, babe
[D] And the [G] bells were [A] ringing out
[D] For Christmas Day
I [G]
[D] [G] [A] [D] [A]
[D] should have been someone
Well, so could [G] anyone
You took [D] my dreams from me
When I [A] first found you
I kept [D] them with me, babe
I put [G] them with my own
Can't [D] make it out alone
I've built [G] my dreams [A] around [D] you
[G] The boys of the [D] NYPD
Choir's still singing
[Bm] Go away, babe
[D] And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas Day
