[Intro 1]
[F][C][F][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
It was Christmas [C]Eve, babe
In the [F]drunk tank
An old man [C]said to me,
won't see [G]another one
And then he [C]sang a song
The rare old [F]mountain Dew
I turned my [C]face away
And [F]dreamed [G]about [C]you[G]

[Verse 2]
Got on a [C]lucky one
Came in eigh[F]teen to one
I've got a fee[C]ling
This year's for [G]me and you
So happy [C]Christmas
I love you [F]baby
I can see a [C]better time
When [F]all our [G]dreams come [C]true
[F][C][F][G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][G]
[C][F][G][C]

[Verse 3]
They've got [C]cars big as [G]bars
They've got [Am]rivers of [F]gold
But the [C]wind goes right through you
It's no place for the [G]old
When you [C]first took my [Am]hand
On a [C]cold Christmas [F]Eve
You [C]promised me
Broadway was [G]waiting for [C]me
You were [C]handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York [G]City
When the [C]band finished [F]playing
They [G]howled out for [C]more
Si[C]natra was swinging
All the drunks they were [G]singing
We [C]kissed on a [F]corner
Then [G]danced through the [C]night

[Chorus 1]
The [F]boys of the NYPD [G]choir
Were [C]singing "Galway [Am]Bay"
And the [C]bells were [F]ringing [G]out

[Interlude 2]
For Christmas day
[C][G][Am][F]
[C][C][G]
[C][Am][C][F]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 4]
You're a [C]bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on [G]junk
Lying [C]there almost [F]dead on a [G]drip in that [C]bed
You [C]scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy [G]faggot
Happy [C]Christmas your [F]arse
I pray [G]God it's our [C]last

[Chorus 2]
The [F]boys of the NYPD [G]choir
Still [C]singing "Galway [Am]Bay"
And the [C]bells were [F]ringing [G]out

[Interlude 3]
For Christmas day
[C][C]

[C][C][F]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
I could have [C]been someone
Well so could [F]anyone
You took my [C]dreams from me
When I first [G]found you
I kept them [C]with me, babe
I put them [F]with my own
Can't make it [C]all alone
I've built my [F]dreams a[G]round [C]you[C]

[Chorus 3]
The [F]boys of the NYPD [G]choir
Still [C]singing "Galway [Am]Bay"
And the [C]bells were ringing out

[Outro 1]
For Christmas day
