Fairytale of New York The Pogues
There isn't actually a 100% correct one for this so here it is.
Original: Capo 2, Standard Tuning
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 song, The Rare Old [F]Mountain Dew
I turned my [C]face away And dreamed [G]about [C]you
Got on a [C]lucky one Came in eigh[F]teen to one
I've got a [C]feeling This year's for [G]me and you
So happy [C]Christmas, I love you[F] baby
I can see a [C]better time When all our d[G]reams come [C]true
Instrumental
They've got [C]cars
Big as [G]bars
They've got [C]rivers of g[F]old
But the [C]wind goes right through you
It's no place for the [G]old
When you [C]first took my [G]hand
On a [C]cold Christmas [F]Eve
You [C]promised me
Broadway was [G]waiting for [C]me
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
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
Instrumental
[C]You're a bum
You're a [G]punk
You're an [C]old slut on [F]junk
Living [C]there almost dead
on a drip In that [G]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
The boy[F]s of the NYPD [G]choir
Still s[C]inging `Galway [Am]Bay`
And the [C]bells are [F]ringing
[G]Out for Christmas [C]Day
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
The boy[F]s of the NYPD [G]choir
Still [C]Singing `Galway [Am]Bay`
And the [C]bells are [F]ringing
[G]Out for Christmas [C]Day
