[Verse]
D G
It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunktank
D A
An old man said to me, won't see another one
D G
And then he sang a song, the Rare Old Mountain Dew
D A D
I turned my face away and dreamed about you
[Verse]
D G
Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one
D A
I've got a feeling, this year's for me and you
D G
So happy Christmas, I love you baby
D A D
I can see a better time, when all our dreams come true
[Interlude]

[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
D G
On a cold Christmas Eve
D
You promised me
A D
Broadway was waiting for me
[Pre-Chorus]
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
We kissed on the corner
A D
Then danced through the night
[Chorus]
G Bm
The boys of the NYPD choir
D Bm
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
D
And the bells
A D
were ringing out for Christmas day

[Pre-Chorus]
D
You're a bum
You're a punk
A
You're an old slut on junk
D G A
Living there almost dead on a drip
D
In that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
A
You cheap lousy faggot
D G
Happy Christmas your arse
A
I pray God
D
It's our last
[Chorus]

[Verse]
D G
I could have been someone, well so could anyone
D A
You took my dreams from me, when I first found you
D G
I kept them with me babe, I put them with my own
D A D
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
[Chorus]

The boys of the NYPD choir

Still Singing 'Galway Bay'
