Fairytale of New York (Maggie) [C]
[NC] It was Christmas [C] Eve babe, in the [F] drunk tank
An old man [C] said to me, won't see a-[G]-nother one
And then he [C] sang a song, the Rare Old [F] Mountain Dew
I turned my [C] face away and [F] dreamed a-[G7] bout [C] you.
[NC] Got on a [C] lucky one, came in eight-[F]teen to one
I've got a [C] feeling this year's for [G] me and you
So happy [C] Christmas, I love you [F] baby
I can see a [C] better time when [F] all our [G7] dreams come [C] true
They've got [C] cars big as [G] bars, they've got [Am] rivers of [F] gold
But the [C] wind goes right through you, it's no place for the [G] old
When you [C] first took my hand on a [Am] cold Christmas [F] Eve
You [C] promised me Broadway was [G] waiting for [C] me
You were [C] handsome, you're pretty, Queen of New York [G] City
When the [C] band finished [F] playing they [G7] howled out for [C] more
Si-[C]-natra was swinging, all the drunks they were [G] singing
We [C] kissed on the [F] corner then [G7] danced through the [C] night
And the [F] boys of the NYPD choir still [C] singing Galway [Am] Bay
And the [C] bells were [F] ringing [G7] out for Christmas [C] day.

You're a [C] bum, you're a punk, you're an old slut on [G] junk
Lying [C] there almost [F] dead on a [G7] drip in that [C] bed
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy [G] faggot
Happy [C] Christmas your [F] arse, I pray [G7] God it's our [C] last
And the [F] boys of the NYPD choir still [C] singing Galway [Am] Bay
And the [C] bells were [F] ringing [G7] out for Christmas [C] day
[NC] I could have [C] been someone, well so could [F] anyone
You took my [C] dreams from me when I first [G] found you
I kept them [C] with me babe, I put them [F] with my own
Can't make it [C] all alone, I've [F] built my [G7] dreams ]round [C] you
And the [F] boys of the NYPD choir still [C] singing Galway [Am] Bay
And the [C] bells were [F] ringing [G7] out for Christmas [C] day

[Verse 3]
I [C] took from my pocket 10 sovereigns [F] bright,
And the [C] landlady's [G7] eyes opened up with de-[C]light,
She [C] said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the [F] best,
And the [C] words that I [G7] told you were only in [C] jest.
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I'll go [C] home to my parents, confess what I've [F] done,
And I'll [C] ask them to [G7] pardon their prodigal [C] son,
And [C] if they forgive me as oft times be-[F]fore,
Then I [C] never will [G7] play the wild rover no [C] more!
|[Chorus]
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|Will I [C] play the wild [F] rover,
|No [G7] never, no [C] more [C]
|
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|[Slowing]
|Will I [C*] plaaaay the wild [F*] rover,
|No [G7*] never, no [C*] more
