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