The Pogues – Fairytale Of New York (Guitar Acoustic)

G                C               F
It was Christmas Eve babe,In the drunk tank

           C                       Gsus4     
An old man said to me, I won't see another one

G           C                      F
And then he sang a song,A rare old mountain dew

             C                    G     C   
I turned my face away,And dreamed about you

G        C                     F
Got on a lucky one,Came in eighteen to one

           C                       Gsus4
I've got a feeling,This year's for me and you

G        C                    F
So happy Christmas,I love you baby

            C                        Gsus4       C
I can see a better time,When all our dreams come true

            C           G                Am        F
They've got cars big as bars,They've got rivers of gold

        C                                                 G
But the wind goes right through you,It's no place for the old

         C             Am        C              F
When you first took my hand,On a cold Christmas Eve

    C                        G           C
You promised me,Broadway was waiting for me

         C                                          G
You were handsome,You were pretty Queen of New York City

         C             F             G              C
When the band finished playing,They howled out for more

  C                                           G
Sinatra was swinging,All the drunks they were singing

   C           F           G                  C
We kissed on a corner,Then danced through the night

    F           Am   G          C              Am
The boys of the NYPD choir,were singing Galway Bay

        C                  G                 C
And the bells were ringing out,For Christmas day

         C                                       G
You're a bum You're a punk,You're an old slut on junk

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

    C                                   G
You scumbag, you maggot,You cheap lousy faggot

      C              F           G            C
Happy Christmas your arse,I pray God it's our last

    F           Am   G          C              Am
The boys of the NYPD choir,were singing Galway Bay

        C                  G                 C
And the bells were ringing out,For Christmas day

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

            C                           Gsus4  
You took my dreams from me,When I first found you

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

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

    F           Am    G         C              Am
The boys of the NYPD choir,were singing Galway Bay

        C                  G                 C
And the bells were ringing out,For Christmas day
