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