_ _ [A] _ It was Christmas [D] Eve, babe, _ in [G] the trunk tank
_ An old man [D] says to me, _ [A] won't see another one _
Then [D] he sang the song, _ the [G] rare old mountain dew
_ I [D] turned my face away, _ and dreamt [A]
about [D] [A] you
God, I'm [D] the lucky one, _ came in [G] 18 to 1 _
I [D] got a feeling, _ _ this year is for [B] me and you _
[A] So, [D] happy Christmas, _ _ _ love you, [G] baby _
I can [D] see a better time, _ when all my dreams come true

[G] _ [D] _ _ They've got cars [A] big as [Bm] spires, they've got rivers [G] of [D] gold
But the wind blows right through you, no place [A] for the [D] old
When he first took my hand on [Bm] that cold [G] Christmas Eve
[D] He promised me Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome, you're pretty, queen of New York City
When the band [G] finished playing, [A] they held [D] out for more
Sinatra was singing, and the drums they were singing
We kissed [G] on the corner, [A] then danced [G] through the night
The boys in the [Em] NYPD choir [D] were singing, [Bm] Galway Bay
[D] And the bells were ringing out for Christmas _
_ [Bm] [G] Day
_ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] You're [D] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ up, my punk
Yeah, I was slumped and [A] drunk [D] laying there
[G] You need to get on [A] a trip [D] in the bath
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas, [G] you're [D] us, I pray God it's our [G] last
The boys in the [Em] NYPD choir [D] were singing, [Bm] Galway Bay
[G] And the bells were ringing [A] out for Christmas [D] Day _

I _ [D] could have been someone
_ And so [G] could anyone
You [D] took my dreams from me
When I [A] first found you
I [D] kept them with me, babe
_ I put [G] them with my _ own
Can't make [D] it all alone
I built my dreams [A] [D] around [A] you
The _
