It was Christmas Eve babe

         F
In the drunk tank

            C                    G
An old man said to me, won't see another one

              C
And then he sang a song

The rare old mountain dew

              C
I turned my face away

    F      G      C      G
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one

When all our dreams come true
C G C F C G F G
           C         G
They've got cars big as bars

           A       F
They've got rivers of gold

         C
But the wind goes right through you

                      G
It's no place for the old

         C             Am
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

      G            C
They howled out for more

C
Sinatra was swinging,

                          G
All the drunks they were singing

     C          F
We kissed on a corner

Then danced through the night

You're an old slut on junk

       C           F        G          C
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

      C
You scumbag, you maggot

                 G
You cheap lousy faggot

You took my dreams from me
