The Rare Old Mountain Dew And I turned my face away

Verse:
            D
They've got cars
       A
Big as bars
            Bm        G
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

On a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me
             A           D
Broadway was waiting for me


Verse:

You were handsome

You were pretty

Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more
D
Sinatra was swinging
                         A
All the drunks they were singing
   D             G
We kissed on the corner
     A                  D
Then danced through the night
    G             Bm A
The boys of the NYPD choir
     D               Bm
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
        D          G
And the bells were ringing

Out for Christmas day

D
You're a bum
         D

                      A
You're an old slut on junk
       D            G         A
Living there almost dead on a drip
        D
In that bed
    D
You scum bag

You maggot
                A
You cheap lousy faggot
      D              G
Happy Christmas your arse

Out for Christmas Day


A            D
I could have been someone
         G
Well, So could anyone
            D
You took my dreams
                     A
From me when I first found you
            D
I kept them with me babe
           G
I put them with my own
              D
Can't make it all alone
              G      A      D
I've built my dreams around you


The boys of the NYPD choir

Still Singing 'Galway Bay'

And the bells are ringing

Out for Christmas Day
