Verse 1
 
It was Christmas [C]Eve babe, in the [F]drunktank
An old man [C]said to me, won't see [G]another one
And then he [C]sang a

I turned my [C]face away and dreamed [G]about [C]you
 
 
Verse 2
 
Got on a [C]lucky one, came in eigh[F]eighteen to one
I've got a [C]feeling this year's for [G]me and you
So happy [C]Christmas, I love you[F]you baby
I can see a [C]better time
when all our d[G]dreams come [C]true
 
 
Verse 3
 
They've got [C]cars
Big as [G]bars
They've got [Am]rivers of [F]gold
But the [C]wind goes right through you
It's no place for the [G]old
When you [C]first took my [Am]hand
On a [C]cold Christmas [F]Eve
You [C]promised me
Broadway was [G]waiting for [C]me
 
 
Verse 4
 
You were [C]handsome
 
You were pretty
Queen of New York [G]City
When the [C]band finished [F]playing
They [G]howled out for [C]more
[C]Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were [G]singing
We [C]kissed on the [F]corner
Then [G]danced through the [C]night
 
 
Hook
 
The [F]boys of the NYPD [G]choir
Were [C]singing 'Galway [Am]Bay'
And the [C]bells were [F]ringing
[G]Out for Christmas [C]Day

Verse 5
 
You're a [C]bum
 
You're a punk
You're an old slut on [G]junk
Lying [C]there almost [F]dead
on a [G]drip in that [C]bed
You [C]scum bag
 
You maggot
You cheap lousy [G]faggot
Happy [C]Christmas your [F]arse
I pray [G]God
It's our [C]last
 
 
Hook
 
The boy[F]boys of the NYPD [G]choir
Still s[C]singing `Galway [Am]Bay`
And the [C]bells are [F]ringing
[G]Out for Christmas [C]Day
 
 
Verse 6
 
I could have [C]been
someone, well, so could [F]anyone
You took my [C]dreams from
me when I first [G]found you
I kept them [C]with me
babe, I put them [F]with my own
Can't make it [C]all alone,
I've built my dreams [G]around [C]you
 
 
Hook
 
The boy[F]boys of the NYPD [G]choir
Still [C]singing `Galway [Am]Bay`
And the [C]bells are [F]ringing
[G]Out for Christmas [C]Day
