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


Verse 2:

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

I've got a feeling
                A
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

   (faster)
D   G    A   D   G   A   D

   (faster, more of an Irish jig beat)
D   A   D    G       D   G   A   D


Verse 3:

             D           A
"They've got cars 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
     D              G
On a cold Christmas Eve
    D
You promised me Broadway
    A           D
Was waiting for me


Verse 4:
          D
"You were handsome!"

"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

The boys of the N Y P D choir
     D               Bm

For Christmas day

      D            G
Lying there almost dead

On a drip in that bed"
     D            D
"You scumbag, you maggot
                A
You cheap lousy faggot
      D               G
Happy Christmas, your arse

For Christmas day

 A            D
"I could have been someone"
 D              G
"Well, so could anyone
            D
You took my dreams from me
             A
When I first found you"
 A           D
"I kept them with me, babe
           G
I put them with my own

I've built my dreams around you"
