It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank,
           C                      G
an old man said, Son, I won't see another one.
            C                          F
And then he sang a song,  The Rare Old Mountain Dew
            C                        G     C      G
I turned my eyes away, and I thought about you.

           C                     F
I got on a lucky one, came in at 18 to 1,
           C                       G
I've got a feeling this year's for me and you.
          C                         F
So Happy Christmas, always love you baby,
                    C                       G           C      G
there's going to be good times when all our dreams come true.

            C                                    F
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold,
        C                                                   G
but the wind blows right through you, it's no place for the old.
       C                                        G
When I first took your hand on a cold Christmas Eve,
        C             F            G           C
hope, I told you that Broadway was waiting for me.

    C                          
You were handsome and pretty, queen of New York city,
         C             F            G                C
when the band finished playing, the crowd howled for more.
  C
Sinatra was swinging, and the crowd they were singing,
      C             F           G               C
so we kissed on the corner and danced round the floor.
        F                                        C              Am
And the boys from the New York police choir were singin' Galway Bay,
        C          F       G                C
and the bells were ringin' out on Christmas Day.

F   C   G   C    F   C   G   C   G   Am   G

             C                        F
I could have been someone and so could anyone,
           C                           G
I took my dreams from you when I first met you.
            C                             F
I kept them with me, babe, and I put them with my own,
                C                        G             C     G
I can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you.

         C                                        F
You're a bum, you're a punk you're an aul hoor on junk,
      C                                    G
lyin' there on the drip nearly dead in the bed.
      C                  
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot,
          C        F             G         C
Happy Christmas me arse, I would rather be dead.
