Fairytale of New York The Pogues
It [C]was Christmas Eve[Am] babe, In the dru[F]nktank
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 eig[F]hteen 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 [G]dreams come[C] true

They've got [C]cars
Big as [G]bars
They've got [Am]rivers of [F]gold
But the [C]wind goes right t[G]hrough you
It's no [C]place for the o[G]ld
When you [C]first took my [Am]hand
On a [C]cold Christmas [F]Eve
You [C]promised me
[G]Broadway was [Am]waiting for [C]me
You were [C]handsome
You were p[G]retty
[C]Queen of New York C[G]ity
When the [C]band finished [F]playing
They [G]howled out for [C]more
[C]Sinatra was [G]swinging
[C]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 th[Am]e N[C]YPD choi[G]r
[G]Were singing '[C]Galway [Am]Bay'
And the [C]bells were [F]ringing
[G]Out for Christmas [C]day
I think the instrumental goes like this:
[C] [F]
[C] [G]
[C] [F]
[C] [G] [C]
[C]You're a bum
You're a [G]punk
You're an [Am]old slut on j[F]unk
Living [C]there almost de[G]ad
on a d[C]rip In that b[G]ed
You [C]scum bag
You ma[G]ggot
[C]You cheap lousy f[G]aggot
Happy [C]Christmas your [F]arse
I pray [G]God
It's our [C]last
The [F]boys of the [Am]NYP[C]D cho[G]ir
Still s[G]inging `[C]Galway B[Am]ay`
And the [C]bells are [F]ringing
[G]Out for Christmas [C]Day
I could have [C]been someone - well, so coul[F]d 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 [F]boys of the[Am] NY[C]PD choi[G]r
Still [G]singing `G[C]alway B[Am]ay`
And the [C]bells are [F]ringing
[G]Out for Christmas [C]Day
