[Intro] FCFGCG [Verse 1] GCFIt was Christmas Eve babe,In the drunk tank
CGAn old man said to me, I won't see another one
GCFAnd then he sang a song,A rare old mountain dew
CGCI turned my face away,And dreamed about you
[Verse 2] GCFGot on a lucky one,Came in eighteen to one
CGI've got a feeling,This year's for me and you
GCFSo happy Christmas,I love you baby
CGCI can see a better time,When all our dreams come true
[Link 1] FCFGCGCFGC [Verse 3] CGAmFThey've got cars big as bars,They've got rivers of gold
CGBut the wind goes right through you,It's no place for the old
CAmCFWhen you first took my hand,On a cold Christmas Eve
CGCYou promised me,Broadway was waiting for me
[Verse 4] CGYou were handsome,You were pretty Queen of New York City
CFGCWhen the band finished playing,They howled out for more
CGSinatra was swinging,All the drunks they were singing
CFGCWe kissed on a corner,Then danced through the night
[Chorus] FAmGCAmThe boys of the NYPD choir,were singing Galway Bay
CGCAnd the bells were ringing out,For Christmas day
[Instrumental Break] CGAmFCGCAmCFCGC [Verse 5] CGYou're a bum You're a punk,You're an old slut on junk
CFGCLying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
CGYou scumbag, you maggot,You cheap lousy faggot
CFGCHappy Christmas your arse,I pray God it's our last
[Chorus] FAmGCAmThe boys of the NYPD choir,were singing Galway Bay
CGCAnd the bells were ringing out,For Christmas day
[Link 2] CFCFGCG [Verse 6] CFI could have been someone,Well so could anyone
CGYou took my dreams from me,When I first found you
GCFI kept them with me babe,I put them with my own
CFGCCan't make it all alone,I've built my dreams around you
[Chorus] FAmGCAmThe boys of the NYPD choir,were singing Galway Bay
CGCAnd the bells were ringing out,For Christmas day
