[Intro]
F#  B  C#  F#  B  C#  F#


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


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


[Interlude]

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


[Pre-Chorus]
         F#
You were handsome

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


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

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

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

You scum bag

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



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

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


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