Fairytale of New York

[Intro]
G# C# D# G# C# D# G#


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


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


[Interlude]
G# C# D# G# C# D# G#
G#  G#  G#  C#  D#  G#


[Verse]
            G#
They've got cars
       D#
Big as bars
            Fm        C#
They've got rivers of gold
        G#  
But the wind goes

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


[Pre-Chorus]
         G#
You were handsome

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


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


[Interlude]
G# G# C# C#
G#  D#  G#  D#
G#  G#  C#  C#
G#  D#  D#  G#


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

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

You scum bag

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



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


[Interlude]
G# G# C# C#
G#  G#
G#  D#  G#  D#~


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


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