    [Verse 1]
             C               
    It was Christmas Eve babe,
     F
     in the drunktank
               C         
    An old man said to me, 
                G
    won\'t see another one
                C           
    And then he sang a song,
                  F
    The Rare Old Mountain Dew
                C        
    I turned my face away 
                 G     C
    and dreamed about you
    
    [Verse 2]
             C         
    Got on a lucky one, 
                 F
    came in eighteen to one
               C      
    I\'ve got a feeling 
                     G
    this year\'s for me and you
             C         
    So happy Christmas, 
               F
    I love you baby
                C     
    I can see a better
                        G   
     time when all our dreams
           C
     come true
    
    [Verse 3]
                C
    They\'ve got cars
           G
    Big as bars
                Am        F
    They\'ve got rivers of gold
            C
    But the wind goes 
    right through you
                          G
    It\'s no place for the old
             C             Am
    When you first took my hand
         C              F
    On a cold Christmas Eve
        C
    You promised me
                 G           C
    Broadway was waiting for me
    
    [Verse 4]
             C
    You were handsome
    
    You were pretty
                      G
    Queen of New York City
             C   
    When the band
              F
     finished playing
         G              C
    They howled out for more
    C
    Sinatra was swinging
                      
    All the drunks they
           G
     were singing
       C             F
    We kissed on the corner
         G                  C
    Then danced through the night

          C            F
    Lying there almost dead
         G            C
    on a drip in that bed
        C
    You scum bag
    You maggot
                    G
    You cheap lousy faggot
          C              F

    I could have been someone,
                    F
     well, so could anyone
                C          
    You took my dreams from 
                     G
    me when I first found you
                C           
    I kept them with me babe, 
                 F
    I put them with my own
                  C        
    Can\'t make it all alone,
     I\'ve built my dreams
      G      C
     around you
    
    [Chorus]
           F             G
    The boys of the NYPD choir
          C               Am
    Still singing `Galway Bay`
            C         F
    And the bells are ringing
    G                 C
    Out for Christmas Day
