Fairytale of New York

[Intro]
A# D# F A# D# F A#


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


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


[Interlude]
A# D# F A# D# F A#
A#  A#  A#  D#  F  A#


[Verse]
            A#
They've got cars
       F
Big as bars
            Gm        D#
They've got rivers of gold
        A#  
But the wind goes

right through you
                      F
It's no place for the old
         A#             Gm
When you first took my hand
     A#              D#
On a cold Christmas Eve
    A#
You promised me
             F           A#
Broadway was waiting for me


[Pre-Chorus]
         A#
You were handsome

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


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


[Interlude]

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

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

You scum bag

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



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


[Interlude]

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


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