[D]
[A] It was Christmas [D] Eve, babe
In [G] the drunk tank
[D] An old man said to me
Won't see [A] another one
And then we [D] sang a song
The rare [G] old mountain tune
That turned my [D] face away
[G] I dreamed [D] about you
[A]
Caught on a [D] lucky one
Coming [A]
right [G] into one
I've got [D] everything
That's yours [A] from beginning
So happy [D] Christmas
I love you, [G] baby
I can [D] see a better time
When all our dreams come [G] true
[A]
[D]
They got cars big as bars
They got rivers of gold
But the wind blows right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised [A] me Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty, queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They held out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the junk men were singing
We kissed [A] on a corner
Then got through [G] the night
The boys of the Empire Penny [D] Corner
Were singing, go away, bye
And the bells [A] were ringing out
[D] For Christmas Day
[Bm] [D]
You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an old slut and junk
Laying there almost dead
On a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you nugga
Cheap chick, wealthy faggot
Happy Christmas, you're ours
I pray God it's our [G] love
The boys of the Empire Penny [D] Corner
Still singing, [Bm] go away, bye
And the [G] bells were ringing out
For [D] Christmas Day
[G] [D]
[A] I [D] could have been someone
Well, [G] so could anyone
You [D] took my dreams from me
When I first [A] found you
I [D] kept them with me, babe
I [G] put them with my own
[D] Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
[G] The boys of the Empire [D] Penny Corner
Still singing, [Bm] go away, bye
[D] And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas Day
