(Intro.)
(G/B) / (A)(G)(A)(D) /

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

(Solo)
(G/B) / (A)(G)(A)(D)
(faster)|(D)(A)(D)(A)(D)(G)(A)
 
(Verse)
They've got (D)cars, big as (A)bars, they've got (Bm)rivers of (G)gold
But the (D)wind goes right through you, It's no place for the (A)old
When you (D)first took my (Bm)hand on a (D)cold Christmas (G)Eve
You (D)promised me, Broadway was (A)waiting for (D)me
 
(Verse)
You were (D)handsome
You were pretty, queen of New York (A)City
When the (D)band finished (G)playing
They (A)howled out for (D)more
Si-(D)natra was swinging, all the drunks they were (A)singing
We (D)kissed on the (G)corner, then (A)danced through the (D)night

(Bridge)
The (G)boys of the NY-(Bm)PD (A)choir
Were (D/F#)singing 'Galway (Bm)Bay'
And the (D)bells were (G)ringing
Out (A) for Christmas (D)day

(Solo)
(A) (Bm) (G) (D) (A) (D) (A) (D) (Bm) (D) (G) (D) / (A) (D)
 
(Verse)
You're a (D)bum, you're a (D/A)punk
You're an (D)old slut on (A)junk
Living (D)there almost (G)dead on a (A)drip in that (D)bed
You (D)scum bag, you maggot
You cheap lousy (A)f****t
Happy (D)Christmas your (G)arse
I pray (A)God, it's our (D)last
 
(Bridge)
The (G)boys of the NY-(Bm)PD (A)choir
Still (D/F#)singing 'Galway (Bm)Bay'
And the (D)bells are (G)ringing
Out (A) for Christmas Day

(Solo)
|(G) / / / |(D) / / / |(A)(D)(A)
 
(Slow Verse)
I could have (D)been someone
Well, so could (G)anyone
You took my (D)dreams from me when I first (A)found you
I kept them (D)with me babe
I put them (G)with my own
Can't make it (D)all alone
I've built my (G)dreams a-(A)round (D)you
 
(Bridge)
The (G)boys of the NY-(Bm)PD (A)choir
Still (D/F#)singing 'Galway (Bm)Bay'
And the (D)bells are ringing
Out for (A)Christmas (D)Day
