G C F
It was Christmas Eve babe,In the drunk tank

An old man said to me, I won't see another one

And then he sang a song,A rare old mountain dew
C G C
I turned my face away,And dreamed about you
[Verse 2]

Got on a lucky one,Came in eighteen to one

They've got cars big as bars,They've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you,It's no place for the old
C Am C F
When you first took my hand,On a cold Christmas Eve
C G C
You promised me,Broadway was waiting for me
[Verse 4]

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

The boys of the NYPD choir,were singing Galway Bay

And the bells were ringing out,For Christmas day

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

Happy Christmas your arse,I pray God it's our last

Can't make it all alone,I've built my dreams around you

And the bells were ringing out,For Christmas day
