As recorded by Good Charlotte (2025 release) Tune down 1/2 step [Intro] G D A D [Verse 1]
                 A    D
It was Christmas Eve, babe

       G
In the drunk tank

           D
An old man said to me

       G    D/F#    G  A
"Won't see another one"

    G              D
And then he sang a song

              G
"The Rare Old Mountain Dew"

            D
I turned my face away

             A    D
And dreamed about you

    G    D
Got on a lucky one

            G
Came in eighteen-to-one

           D
I've got a feeling

                A
This year's for me and you

         D
So happy Christmas

            G
I love you, baby

            D
I can see a better time

             A           D
When all our dreams come true
[Verse 2]
            D           A                 Bm        G
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold

        D               A                    D             A
But the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old

       D               A         Bm             G
When I first took your hand on a cold Christmas Eve

         D                       A           D
You said promise me Broadway was waiting for me

                         A             D           G
I was handsome, you were pretty, queen of New York City

         D             G             A              D
When the band finished playing, they howled out for more

            A                 D                 G
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks, they were singing

   D           G            A                  D
We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night
[Chorus]
        G                           D               Bm
And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"

        D          G       A                 D
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
[Interlude] D A Bm G D A D [Bridge]
D                                            G
"We could have been someone", well, so could anyone

            D                           A
I took your dreams with me when I first found you

            D                         G
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own

              D               G        A             D
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
[Out-Chorus]
        G                           D               Bm
And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"

        D          G       A                 D
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day

         G                            D               Bm
Yeah the boys of the NYPD choir still singing "Galway Bay"

        D         G       A                 D  Bm
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

        D         G       A                 D
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
