Intro: G A D
                  D
It was Christmas Eve babe

         G
In the drunk tank

            D                    A
An old man said to me, won't see another one

              D
And then he sang a song

              G
The rare old mountain dew

              D
I turned my face away

    G      A      D      A
And dreamed about you

          D
Got on a lucky one

         G
Came in eighteen to one

          D
I've got a feeling

               A
This year for me and you

          D
So happy Christmas

            G
I love you baby

            D
I can see a better time

      G       A         D
When all our dreams come true
D A D G D A G A
           D         A
They've got cars big as bars

           B       G
They've got rivers of gold

         D
But the wind goes right through you

                      A
It's no place for the old

         D             Bm
When you first took my hand

     D              G
On a cold Christmas eve

D
You promised me

            A            D
Broadway was waiting for me

          D
You were handsome
You were pretty
                   A
Queen of New York City

          D            G
When the band finished playing

      A            D
They howled out for more

D
Sinatra was swinging,

                          A
All the drunks they were singing

     D          G
We kissed on a corner

        A               D
Then danced through the night

  G                  A
The boys of the NYPD choir

    D              Bm
Were singing Galway bay

         D       G        A
And the bells were ringing out

              D
For Christmas day
D A G A D A G A
   D
You're a bum
You're a punk
                      A
You're an old slut on junk

       D           G        A          D
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

      D
You scumbag, you maggot

                 A
You cheap lousy faggot

         D           G
Happy Christmas your arse

        A           D
I pray God its our last

  G
The boys of the NYPD choir

    D              B
Were singing Galway bay

         D       G        A
And the bells were ringing out

              D          A
For Christmas day

             D
I could have been someone

              G
Well so could anyone

              D
You took my dreams from me

              A
When I first found you

                     D
I kept them with me babe

           G
I put them with my own

             D
Can't make it all alone

      G       A            D
I've built my dreams around you

  G           Bm     A
The boys of the NYPD choir

    D              Bm
Were singing Galway bay

         D       G        A
And the bells were ringing out

              D
For Christmas day
