\beginverse
It was Christmas \[C]Eve babe
In the \[F]drunk tank
An old man \[C]said to me
Won't see an\[G]other one
\endverse
\beginverse*
And then he \[C]sang a song
The Rare Old \[F]Mountain Dew
And I turned my \[C]face away
And \[F]dreamed a\[G]bout \[C]you
\endverse
\beginverse
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
\endverse
\beginverse*
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
\endverse

\beginverse
They've got \[C]cars
Big as \[G]bars
They've got \[Am]rivers of \[F]gold
But the \[C]wind goes right through you
It's no place for the \[G]old
\endverse
\beginverse*
When you \[C]first took my \[Am]hand
On a \[C]cold Christmas \[F]Eve
You \[C]promised me
Broadway was \[G]waiting for \[C]me
\endverse
\beginverse
\[C]You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York \[G]City
When the \[C]band finished \[F]playing
They \[G]howled out for \[C]more
\endverse
\beginverse*
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner
Then danced through the night
\endverse
\beginchorus
The \[F]boys of the NY\[Am]PD \[G]choir
Were \[C]singing ``Galway \[Am]Bay''
And the \[C]bells were \[F]ringing
\[G]Out for Christmas \[C]day
\endchorus
\beginverse
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Living there almost dead
On a drip in that bed
\endverse
\beginverse*
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
\endverse
\beginverse
I could have been someone
So could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
\endverse
\beginverse*
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
\endverse
