  \beginverse
    It was Christmas \[Do]Eve babe
    In the \[Fa]drunk tank
    An old man \[Do]said to me,
    Won't see an\[Sol]other one
  \endverse

  \beginverse*
    And then he \[Do]sang a song
    The Rare Old \[Fa]Mountain Dew
    And I turned my \[Do]face away
    And \[Fa]dreamed a\[Sol]bout \[Do]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 \[Do]cars
    Big as \[Sol]bars
    They've got \[Lam]rivers of \[Fa]gold
    But the \[Do]wind goes right through you
    It's no place for the \[Sol]old
  \endverse

  \beginverse*
    When you \[Do]first took my \[Lam]hand
    On a \[Do]cold Christmas \[Fa]Eve
    You \[Do]promised me
    Broadway was \[Sol]waiting for \[Do]me
  \endverse

  \beginverse
    \[Do]You were handsome
    You were pretty
    Queen of New York \[Sol]City
    When the \[Do]band finished \[Fa]playing
    They \[Sol]howled out for \[Do]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 \[Fa]boys of the NY\[Lam]PD \[Sol]choir
    Were \[Do]singing ``Galway \[Lam]Bay''
    And the \[Do]bells were \[Fa]ringing
    \[Sol]Out for Christmas \[Do]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
