[Verse 1]
[D]It [G]was[D][G][A][D][A]
[G]christ[A] mas eve ba[D]be,
in the [G]drunk tank an old man said to [D]me wont see an[A]other one,
And [G]then [A]they sang a s[D]ong,
the rare old [G]mountain dew,
I turned my [A]face [D]away and
[G]dreamed about [A]you,[D][A]
Got on a lucky [D]one,
Came in [G]eighteen to one,
Ive got a [D]feeling, this years for me [A]and you,
so happy christ[D]mas, I love you [G]baby
I can see a better [D]time when [G]all [D]our [A]dreams come [D]true,
[G][A][G][A][D][A]
[D][G][A]
They got [D]cars big as [A]bars, they've got [Bm]rivers of [G]gold,
but the [D]wind goes right through you, its no place for the [A]old,
when you [D]first took my [Bm]hand on that [D]cold Christmas [G]eve
you [D]promised me broadway was [A]waiting for [D]me,
You were handsome,
You were pretty,
queen of New York [A]city,
When the [D]band finished [G]playing
they [A]yelled out for [D]more,
Sinatra was swinging,
oh the drunks the were [A]singing,
we [D]kissed [G]on a corner and [A]danced
through the [D]night,
Oh the [G]boys of the NYPD choir [D]were singing Gallaway Bay,
[Bm]yet the [D]bells were r[G]inging o[A]ut for christmas d[D]ay,[A][Bm][G][D][A][D][Bm]
[D][G][D][A]
[D]Youre a bum,
Youre a punk,
Youre an old slut and [A]junk,
lying [D]there almost [G]dead a drip [A]in that bed,
You [D]scumbag,
You maggot,
You cheap lousy [A]faggot,
happy [D]christmas youre [G]arse and thank [A]god its our [D]last,
Oh the [G]boys of the NYPD choir were [D]singing [Bm]Gallaway Bay, yet
the [D]bells were [G]ringing [A]out for christmas [D]day,[G][D][G][A][D]
[A]I could have bee[D]n someone,
well so could [G]anyone,
you took [D]my dreams from
me when I first [A]found you,
I kept them [D]with me babe,
I put them [G]with my own,
cant make it [D]out alone... I built my [G]dreams [A]around [D]you,
Oh the [G]boys of the NYPD choir were singing Gallaway Bay, yet
[A]the bells were ringing out for [D]christmas day,
Oh the boys of the NYPD [Bm]choir were singing Gallaway Bay, yet the [D]bells were ringing out for christmas day,
