The Pogues – Fairytale Of New York (Guitar)

                 C                F
It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunktank

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

            C                         F
And then he sang a song, The Rare Old Mountain Dew

            C                     G     C
I turned my face away and dreamed about you

         C                      F
Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one

           C                       G
I've got a feeling this year's for me and you

         C                    F
So happy Christmas, I love you baby

            C                         G          C
I can see a better time when all our dreams come true

            C
They've got cars

       G
Big as bars

            Am        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

     C              F
On a cold Christmas Eve

    C
You promised me

             G           C
Broadway was waiting for me

         C
You were handsome

                  G
Queen of New York City

         C             F
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 the corner

     G                  C
Then danced through the night

    F                G
The boys of the NYPD choir

     C               Am
Were singing 'Galway Bay'

        C          F
And the bells were ringing

G                 C
Out for Christmas Day

         C
You're a bum

                      G
You're an old slut on junk

      C            F
Lying there almost dead

     G            C
on a drip in that bed

    C
You scum bag

                G
You cheap lousy faggot

      C              F
Happy Christmas your arse

       G
I pray God

         C
It's our last

       F             G
The boys of the NYPD choir

       C              Am
Still singing `Galway Bay`

        C         F
And the bells are ringing

G                 C
Out for Christmas Day

             C                            F
I could have been someone, well, so could anyone

            C                           G
You took my dreams from me when I first found you

            C                        F
I kept them with me babe, I put them with my own

              C                               G      C
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you

       F             G
The boys of the NYPD choir

      C               Am
Still singing `Galway Bay`

        C         F
And the bells are ringing

G                 C
Out for Christmas Day
