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

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

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

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

F F C C G G C C F F C C G G C C G G Am Am G G

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

C C F F
You're a bum, you're a punk you're an aul hoor on junk,
C C G G
lyin' there on the drip nearly dead in the bed.
C C
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot,
C C F F G G C C
Happy Christmas me arse, I would rather be dead.
F F C C Am Am
And the boys from the New York police choir were singin' Galway Bay,
C C F F G G F F C C F F G G
and the bells were ringin' out on Christmas Day.

F F
I love you baby,
C C G G
I've got a feeling this year's to me and you.
C C F F
So Happy Christmas, always love you baby,
C C G G C C G G
there's going to be good times when all our dreams come true.
C C
So, Happy Christmas, I love you, baby.
