[Intro]
C#  F#  G#  C#  F#  G#  C#


[Verse]
                 C#                F#
It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunktank
           C#                      G#
An old man said to me, won't see another one
            C#                         F#
And then he sang a song, the Rare Old Mountain Dew
            C#                      G#    C#
I turned my face away and dreamed about you


[Verse]
         C#                      F#
Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one
           C#                        G#
I've got a feeling, this year's for me and you
         C#                     F#
So happy Christmas, I love you baby
            C#                         G#           C#
I can see a better time, when all our dreams come true


[Interlude]
C#  F#  G#  C#  F#  G#  C#
C#  C#  C#  F#  G#  C#


[Verse]
            C#
They've got cars
       G#
Big as bars
            A#m        F#
They've got rivers of gold
        C#
But the wind goes right through you
                      G#
It's no place for the old
         C#             A#m
When you first took my hand
     C#              F#
On a cold Christmas Eve
    C#
You promised me
             G#           C#
Broadway was waiting for me


[Pre-Chorus]
         C#
You were handsome

You were pretty
                  G#
Queen of New York City
         C#             F#
When the band finished playing
     G#              C#
They howled out for more
C#
Sinatra was swinging
                         G#
All the drunks they were singing
   C#             F#
We kissed on the corner
     G#                  C#
Then danced through the night


[Chorus]
    F#             A#m
The boys of the NYPD choir
     C#               A#m
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
        C#
And the bells
             G#                 C#
were ringing out for Christmas day

[Pre-Chorus]
C#
You're a bum

You're a punk
                      G#
You're an old slut on junk
       C#            F#         G#
Living there almost dead on a drip
        C#
In that bed

You scum bag

You maggot
                G#
You cheap lousy faggot
      C#              F#
Happy Christmas your arse
       G#
I pray God
         C#
It's our last



[Chorus]
    F#             A#m
The boys of the NYPD choir
     C#               A#m
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
        C#
And the bells
             G#                 C#
were ringing out for Christmas day


[Interlude]

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


[Chorus]
    F#             A#m
The boys of the NYPD choir
      C#               A#m
Still Singing 'Galway Bay'
        C#\
And the bells
            (G#)               C#
are ringing out for Christmas day
