Verse 1:

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

Got on a lucky one
      G
Came in eighteen-to-one

I've got a feeling

This year's for me and you
     D
So, Happy Christmas
      G
I love you, baby
      D
I can see a better time
  G    A      D
When all our dreams come true

"They've got cars big as bars

They've got rivers of gold
    D
But the wind goes right through you;
           A
It's no place for the old
     D       Bm
When you first took my hand
   D       G
On a cold Christmas Eve
  D
You promised me Broadway
  A      D
Was waiting for me

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


Hook:
  G        Bm A
The boys of the N Y P D choir

For Christmas day

Lying there almost dead

On a drip in that bed"

You cheap lousy faggot

Happy Christmas, your arse
