[G] [D] [G]
[D] [A] It was Christmas [D] Eve, babe
In [G] the drunk tank
An [E] old man said to [D] me
Won't see another [A] one
And then he [D] sang a song
The [G] rare old mountain dew
I turned my face [D] away
And dreamed about [A] you
Got on a [D] lucky one
Coming [A] right into [G] one
I've got a [D] feeling
This year's from beginning
[A]
So happy [D] Christmas
I love you, [G] baby
I can see a better [D] time
When all our dreams come true
[G] They [A] [D]
got cars big as balls
[Bm] They got rivers of gold
[D] Put the windows right through you
It's no place for the old
[Bm] When you first took my hand
On [D] a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway
Was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen [A] of New York City
When [D] the band finished playing
They held up the mall
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks were whistling
We kissed on the corner
Then danced through the [G] night
The boys in the envelope
[E] In a [D] choir were singing
Go away, [Bm] babe
And the bells [A] were ringing out
For Christmas Day
You're [D]
[A] [Bm] [D]
[A] [D] an old slut and [D] jokeler
And they're almost dead
On a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
Cheap cheap, lousy faggot
Happy Christmas, you're our subject
God, it's our luck
The [G] boys in the envelope
In a choir [D] were singing
Go [Bm] away, babe
[D] And the bells were ringing [A] out
For Christmas [D] Day
[G]
[G] [D] [A] I [D] could have been someone
Well, [G] so could any
You [D] took my dreams from me
When I first [A] found you
I [D] kept them with me, babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
[G] I've built my dreams [D] around you
[G] The boys in the envelope
In a [D] choir were singing
Go away, [Bm] babe
And the [B] bells were ringing out
[D] For Christmas Day
