[D] [G] [D] [Em]
[D] It [C#] was [D] Christmas Eve, babe
In the truck [G] time
I know [A] my love said to [D] me
Won't see another [B] one
[A] [D] And then he sang a song
To rare [G] old Mountain Dew
I [A] turned my [D] face away
[G] And dreamed [A] [D] about you
But on a lucky one
[A] Came an 18 [G] to 1
I've got a [A] feeling
[D] This year's for me and [A] you
Happy [D] Christmas
I [A] love you, [G] baby
I can see a [D] better time
When [A] all our [D] dreams come true
[G]
[A] [D] [A] [D]
[G] [A] [D] They've got cars [A] big as bars
[Bm] They've got rivers [G] of gold
[D] But the wind blows right through
There's no place for [A] the old
[D] When you first took my hand
On that cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway
[A] Was waiting [D] for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New [A] York City
[D] When the band [G] finished playing
[A] They held out [D] for more
Tenacious way
Mother Trump they were singing
We kissed on [G] the corner
[A] Then danced through [D] the night
[G] The boys of E and Y and B
Choir were [D] singing [Bm] Broadway Bay
[C#] And [D] the bells [G] were ringing [A] out
For [D] Christmas Day
[Bm] [G] [D]
[A] [Bm] [D] [G] [D] [A]
[D] You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an owl cut up, droop
Lying [G] there almost [A] dead
On a [D] drip in my bed
You're scum bag, you're maggot
You're a cheap man, you're a haggot
Happy [G] Christmas me [A] lass
I pray [D] God it's all [G] right
The boys of E and Y and B
[D] Choir were singing [Bm] Broadway Bay
[D] And the [G] bells were [A] ringing out
For [D] Christmas Day
I [G] [D]
[G] [A] [D] [A] [D] could have been someone
Well so [G] could anyone
You took [D] my dreams from me
When I [A] first found you
I kept [D] them with me babe
I put [G] them with my old
Can't [D] make it all alone
I built [G] my [A] dreams [D] around [A] you
