\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
\lilypond{Fairytale_of_New_York}
\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
