🎶 Fairytale Of New York

Verse 1

It was Christmas [Cb]Eve babe, in the [Db]drunktank
An old man [Cb]said to me, won't see [Bbm]another one
And then he [Cb]sang a
song, The Rare Old [Db]Mountain Dew
I turned my [Cb]face away and dreamed [Bbm]about [Cb]you

Verse 2

Got on a [Cb]lucky one, came in [Db]eighteen to one
I've got a [Cb]feeling this year's for [Bbm]me and you
So happy [Cb]Christmas, I love [Db]you baby
I can see a [Cb]better time
when all our [Bbm]dreams come [Cb]true

Verse 3

They've got [Cb]cars
Big as [Bbm]bars
They've got [A#m]rivers of [Db]gold
But the [Cb]wind goes right through you
It's no place for the [Bbm]old
When you [Cb]first took my [A#m]hand
On a [Cb]cold Christmas [Db]Eve
You [Cb]promised me
Broadway was [Bbm]waiting for [Cb]me

Verse 4

You were [Cb]handsome

You were pretty
Queen of New York [Bbm]City
When the [Cb]band finished [Db]playing
They [Bbm]howled out for [Cb]more
[Cb]Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were [Bbm]singing
We [Cb]kissed on the [Db]corner
Then [Bbm]danced through the [Cb]night

Hook

The [Db]boys of the NYPD [Bbm]choir
Were [Cb]singing 'Galway [A#m]Bay'
And the [Cb]bells were [Db]ringing
[Bbm]Out for Christmas [Cb]Day

Short Instrumental

[Cb] [Db] [Cb] [Bbm]
[Cb] [Db] [Cb] [Bbm] [Cb]

Verse 5

You're a [Cb]bum

You're a punk
You're an old slut on [Bbm]junk
Lying [Cb]there almost [Db]dead
on a [Bbm]drip in that [Cb]bed
You [Cb]scum bag

You maggot
You cheap lousy [Bbm]faggot
Happy [Cb]Christmas your [Db]arse
I pray [Bbm]God
It's our [Cb]last

Hook

The [Db]boys of the NYPD [Bbm]choir
Still [Cb]singing `Galway [A#m]Bay`
And the [Cb]bells are [Db]ringing
[Bbm]Out for Christmas [Cb]Day

Verse 6

I could have [Cb]been
someone, well, so could [Db]anyone
You took my [Cb]dreams from
me when I first [Bbm]found you
I kept them [Cb]with me
babe, I put them [Db]with my own
Can't make it [Cb]all alone,
I've built my dreams [Bbm]around [Cb]you

Hook

The [Db]boys of the NYPD [Bbm]choir
Still [Cb]singing `Galway [A#m]Bay`
And the [Cb]bells are [Db]ringing
[Bbm]Out for Christmas [Cb]Day⠀
