[G] [D]
[G] [A] [D] [A] [Em] It was [A] Christmas [D] Eve, babe
In [G] the drunk tank
An old [D] man said to me
Won't see another [A] one
And then he [D] sang a song
The rare [G] old mountain dew
That [A] turned my face [D] away
[G] I dreamed [A]
[D] about you
[A] Got on a [D] lucky one
[A] Coming in ten [G] to one
I've got [A] a [D] feeling
This year's from beginning
[A]
So happy [D] Christmas
[A] I love you, baby
[G] I can see [A] a better [D] time
When all our [D] dreams come true
[G] They [A] [D] [G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] got cars big as [A] bars
They [G] got rivers of [D] gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no [A] place for the [D] old
When you first took my hand
On a [G] cold Christmas Eve
You [D] promised me Broadway
Was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty, queen [A] of New York [D] City
When the [G] band finished [A] playing
They [D] held up the mall
Sinatra was swinging
All the [A] gentlemen were [D] swinging
We [G] kissed on a [A] corner
Then [D] danced through the [G] night
The boys of the NYPD [D] choir
Were singing, [Bm] going bang
[D] And the [G] bells were [A] ringing out
For [D] Christmas Day
You're [G]
[D] [A] [D] [G]
[D] a bum, you're a punk
You're an old [A] slut and [D] junk
Laying there [G] almost dead
[A] On a drip [D] in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap, [A] wealthy faggot
[D] Happy Christmas, [G] you're our side
[A] Thank God it's [G] our lot
The boys of the NYPD choir
[D] Were singing, going [Bm] bang
And [D] the bells [G] were ringing [A] out
For Christmas [D] Day
[G]
[D] [G] [A] [D] [A] I [D] could 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
[D] Can't make it out alone
I've [G] built my [A] dreams [D] around you
[G] The boys of the [A] NYPD choir
[D] Were singing, [Bm] going bang
[D] And the bells were ringing out
