It was Christmas Eve, babe

In the drunk tank

'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'

And dreamed about you

    A          D
Got on a lucky one
             A      G
Came in eighteen-to-one
      A  Asus4 D
I've got a feeling
      G                 A   A7
This year's for me and you

So, Happy Christmas

Verse
             D           A
They've got cars big as bars
             D         G
They've got rivers of gold
         D                 A
But the wind goes right through you
          Bm          A
It's no place for the old
          D             Bm
When you first took my hand
             D      G
On a cold Christmas Eve
      D            A
You promised me Broadway
     G           D
Was waiting for me

Verse

           D
"You were handsome!" "You were pretty
                   A
Queen of New York City"
          D              G
When the band finished playing
      A              D
They howled out for more
   D
Sinatra was swinging
                           A
All the drunks, they were singing
        D           G
And we kissed on a corner
      A                  D
Then danced through the night


         G             Bm  A
And the boys of the NYPD choir
      D               Bm
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
         D          G      A7
And the bells were ringing out
               D
For Christmas day

"You're an old cut on junk
        D           G
Lying there almost dead
       A           D
On a drip in that bed"
          D
"You scumbag, you maggot
                 A
You cheap lousy ?
         D            G
Maybe Christmas, you mother
        A            D
I pray God it's our last"

You took my   dreams from me
     G              A   A7
When I first found you"
              D
"I took them with me, babe
             G
I kept them with my own
       A          D
Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you"
