[D]It was Christmas [G]Eve babe In the [C]drunk tank
An old man [G]said to me, won't see a[D]nother one And then he [G]sang a song The Rare Old [C]Mountain Dew And I turned my [G]face away And dreamed a[Dsus4]bout [G]you,,[D] Got on a [G]lucky one I've got a [G]feeling So happy [G]Christmas I can see a [G]better
Came in eigh[C]teen to one
This year's for [D]me and you I love you[C] baby time When all our dreams [Dsus4]come [G]true
They've [G]got cars Big as [D]bars
They've got [Em]rivers of [C]gold But the [G]wind goes Right through you It's no place for the [D]old When you [G]first took my [Em]hand on a [G]cold Christmas [C]Eve You [G]promised me Broadway was [D]waiting for [G]me You were [G]handsome You were pretty Queen Of New York [D]City When the [G]band finished [C]playing They [D]howled ou t for [G]more Si[G]natra was swinging, All the drunks they were [D]singing We [G]kissed on the [C]corner Then [D]danced through the [G]night The [C]Boys of the NYPD choir were [G]singing 'Galway [Em]Bay' And the [G]bells were [C]ringing [D]Out for Christmas [G]day [G]You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on [D]junk Lying [G]there almost [C]dead on a [D]drip In that [G]bed You [G]scum bag You maggot You cheap lousy [D]faggot Happy [G]Christmas you [C]arse I pray [D]God It's our [G]last. The [C]Boys of the NYPD choir were [G]singing 'Galway [Em]Bay' And the [G]bells were [C]ringing [D]Out for Christmas [G]day. I [D]could have [G]been someone So could [C]anyone You took my [G]dreams From me when I first [D]found you I kept them [G]with me babe I put them [C]with my own Can't make it [G]all alone I've built my [C]dreams a[D]round [G]you. The [C]Boys of the NYPD choir were [G]singing 'Galway [Em]Bay' And the [G]bells were [C]ringing [D]Out for Christmas [G]day.
