D G
It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank
D A A7
An old man said, "Son, I won't see another one"
D G
And then he sang a song; "The Rare Old Mountain Dew"
D G A D (riff to A)
I turned my eyes away and thought about you
[Verse]
D G
Got on a lucky one came in eighteen to one
D A A7
I've got a feeling this year's for me and you
D G
Happy Christmas, how I love you baby
D G A D (riff to A)
There's gonna be good times when all our dreams come true
[Verse]
D G
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold
D A
But the wind blows right through you; it's no place for the old
D G
When I first took your hand, on a cold Christmas Eve
D G A D
I told you that Broadway was waiting for me
[Bridge]
D
You were handsome and pretty, queen of New York City
D G A D
When the band finished playing the crowd howled for more
D
Sinatra was singing, and all the crowd they were swinging
D G A D
Oh, we kissed in the corner and we danced round the floor
[Chorus]
G D Bm
And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"
D A D
And the bells were ringing out on Christmas day
[Instrumental]
D G A D
[Verse]
D G
I could have been someone, and so could anyone
D A
I took your dreams from you when I first met you
D G
I kept them with me babe and I put them with my own
D G A D (riff to A)
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
[Verse]
D G
Well you're a bum, you're a punk, you're an old whore on junk
D A
Lying there on the drip nearly dead in the bed
D
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot
D G A D
Happy Christmas me arse, oh I'd rather be dead.
[Chorus]
G D Bm
And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"
D A D
And the bells were ringing out on Christmas day
[End]
