[NC] It was Christmas Eve [C] 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-[G]bout [C] you. [G]
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 [G] dreams come [C] true

They've got 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 [G] hand on a [Am] cold Christmas [F] Eve
You [C] promised me Broadway was [G] waiting for [C] me
You were [C] handsome, you were pretty, Queen of New York [G] City
When the [C] band finished [F] playing they [G] 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 [G] 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 [G] out for Christmas [C] day.

Lying [C] there almost [F] dead on a [G] drip in that [C] bed
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy [G] faggot
Happy [C] Christmas your [F] arse, I pray [G] God it's our [C] last
