Intro: F C Dm7 G

                 C
It was Christmas Eve babe 
             F
In the drunk tank 
           C                 Dm    G
An old man said to me, won't see another one 
            C
And then he sang a song 
              F
'The Rare Old Mountain Dew' 
            C
I turned my face away 
    Dm      G     C
And dreamed about you 

         C
Got on a lucky one 
            F
Came in eighteen to one 
           C
I've got a feeling 
                Dm        G
This year's for you and me 
         C
So happy Christmas 
           F
I love you baby 
            C
I can see a better time 
     Dm      G           C     F C Dm7 G 
When all our dreams come true

            C
They've got cars 
       G
Big as bars 
            C         F
They've got rivers of gold 
        C
But the wind goes 
              
Right through you 
                      G
It's no place for the old 
         C
When you first took my hand 
                    F
On a cold Christmas Eve 
    C
You promised me 
             G           C
Broadway was waiting for me 

         C
You were handsome 

You were pretty 
                  G
Queen of New York City 
         C             F
When the band finished playing 
     G              C
They howled out for more 
   C
Sinatra was swinging, 
                         G
All the drunks they were singing 
   C           F
We kissed on a corner 
     G                  C
Then danced through the night 

    F
The boys of the NYPD choir 
     C               Am
Were singing 'Galway Bay' 
        C          F
And the bells were ringing 
 G                C
Out for Christmas Day

         C
You're a bum 

You're a punk 
                      G
You're an old slut on junk 
      C            F         G
Lying there almost dead on a drip 
        C
In that bed 

    C
You scum bag 
    
You maggot 
                    G
You're cheap & your haggard 
      C              F
Happy Christmas your arse 
       G
I pray God 
         C
It's our last 


    F
The boys of the NYPD choir 
     C               Am
Were singing 'Galway Bay' 
        C          F
And the bells were ringing 
 G                C
Out for Christmas Day 


Mellanspel: C F C Dm7 G x2


             C
I could have been someone 
              F
Well so could anyone 
            C
You took my dreams 
                     G
From me when I first found you 
            C
I kept them with me babe 
           F
I put them with my own 
              C
Can't make it all alone 
                     G       C
I've built my dreams around you 

    F
The boys of the NYPD choir 
     C               Am
Were singing 'Galway Bay' 
        C          F
And the bells were ringing 
 G                C
Out for Christmas Day
