C majorC	FF	G+G	C majorC

It was Christmas Eve babe in the drunk tank

An old man said to me, won't see another one
C majorC			 FF
And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew

I turned my face away and dreamed about you.

Got on a lucky one came in eighteen to one

So happy Christmas, I love you baby
There's gonna be some goodtime when all our dreams come true

C majorC				FF
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you; it's no place for the old

When you first took my hand, on a cold Christmas Eve
C majorC		FF		G+G		C majorC
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me.

When the band finished playing they howled out for more
C majorC
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks they were singing
C majorC           FF           G+G              C majorC
We kissed on a corner then danced through the night.

FF           C majorC                    A augmentedA
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"

I could have been someone, well so could anyone
C majorC                      G+G
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
C majorC                   FF
I kept them with me babe; I put them with my own
C majorC           G+G         C majorC                 G+G
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you

C majorC                     FF
You're a bum, you're a punk, you're an old slut on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
C majorC
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot
C majorC            FF      G+G         C majorC
Happy Christmas my arse, I'd rather be dead.
