(Verse 1: Jason)
(D) It was Christmas Eve again in the (G)drunk tank
An old man (D)said to me, "Won't see an-(A)other one"
And then, he (D)sang a song, "The Rare Old (G)Mountain Dew"
I turned my (D)face away and (G)dreamed a-(A)bout (D)you
Got on a (D)lucky one, came in eigh-(D)teen to one
I've got a (D)feeling this year's for (A)me and you
So Happy (D)Christmas, I love you, (G)brother
I can see a (D)better time when (A)all our dreams come (D)true

(Solo)

(Verse 2: Travis, Jason, Both)
They've got (D)cars big as (A)bars, they've got (Bm)rivers of (G)gold
But the (D)wind goes right (A)through you, it's no (D)place for the (A)old
When you (D)first took my (Bm)hand on a (D)cold Christmas (G)Eve
You (D)promised me (A)Broad Street was (G)waiting for (D)me
You were (D)handsome, you were (A)pretty, you're the (D)king of South (A)Philly
When the (D)band finished (G)playing, they (A)howled out for (D)more
The (D)Leathers were (A)swinging, all the (D)drunks, they were (A)singing
We (D)fought on a (G)corner, then (A)danced through the (D)night

(Chorus: Both)
The (G)sound of The Silver (Bm)Ages choir all (D)singing "Galway (Bm)Bay"
And the (D)bells were ringing out (A) for Christmas day (D)

(Solo)
|(D)(A)(D)(A)|(D)(Bm)(D)(G)|(D)(A)(Bm)(D)

(Verse 3: Jason, Travis)
You's a (D)lush, you're a (A)crumb bum, you (D)smell like some (A)old scum
Washed (D)up from the (G)Schuylkill and (A)rotting a-(D)way
You (D)dirtbag, you (A)phony, you (D)lousy jab-(A)roni
Happy (D)Christmas, you (G)ass, I pray (A)God it's our (D)last

(Chorus: Both)
The (A)sound of The Silver (Bm)Ages choir still (D)singing "Galway (Bm)Bay"
And the (D)bells were (G)ringing out (A) for Christmas day (D)

(Solo)
|(G) / / / |(D) / / (G)|(A)(D)(A)

(Bridge: Jason, Travis, Both)
I could have (D)been someone
Well, (D/F#)so (G)could anyone
You took my (D)dreams from me
When Mom first (A)had you
I kept them (D)with me, Jas'
I (G)put them (A)with my own
Can't make it (D)all alone
I've built my (G)dreams a-(A)round (D)you

(Chorus: Both)
The (G)sound of The Silver (Bm)Ages choir still (D)singing "Galway (Bm)Bay"
And the (D)bells were ringing out for Christmas day (D)
