Christy Moore
Fairytale of New York
Capo 1
C G C G
C F
It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank
C G G7
An old man said “Son, I won't see another one.”
C F
And then he sang a song, The Rare Old Mountain Dew
C F C G C G
I turned my eyes away and dreamed about you.
C F
Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one
C G G7
I've got a feeling, this year's for me and you
C F
So happy Christmas, I love you baby
C F C G C G
There's gonna be good times, when all our dreams come true
C F
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold
C G
But the wind blows right through you, it's no place for the old
C G
When you first took my hand, on a cold Christmas Eve
C F G C
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me.
C G
You were handsome and pretty, queen of New York City
C F G C
When the band finished playing, the crowd howled for more
C
Sinatra was singing, all the crowd they were swinging
F G C
We kissed on a corner and we danced round the floor
Chorus:
F C Am
And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"
C F G C
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day
Break:
F
All-de-da-la-la-lo
C
All-dall-dall-de-da-lo
F G F G
All-de-dall-dall -do
C F
I could have been someone, and so could anyone
C G
I took my dreams from you, when I first met you
C F
I kept them with me babe, and I put them with my own
C F G C G
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
C F
Well you're a bum, you're a punk, you're an ole hore on junk
C G
Layin there on the drip, nearly dead in that bed
C
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot
C F G C
Happy Christmas my arse, I'd rather be dead.
Last chorus:

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"

C F
Happy Christmas, how I love you baby
C F C G C G C
There's gonna be good times, when all our dreams come true
C G
So, happy christmas, I love ya baby
