Fairytale of New York The Pogues
It was Christmas [D]Eve babe
In the [G]drunk tank
An old man [D]said to me
Won't see [A]another one
And then he [D]sang a song
The rare old [G]mountain dew
I turned my [D]face away
And dreamed [A]about [D]you[A]
Got on a [D]lucky one
Came in [G]eighteen to one
I´ve got a [D]feeling
This year´s for [A]me and you
So Happy [D]Christmas
I love you [G]baby
I can see a [D]better time
Where [G]all our [A]dreams come [D]true
G, D, A, D
A, Bm, G, D
A, D, A, D
G, D, A, D
[D]They got cars big as [A]bars
They got [Bm]rivers of [G]gold
But the [D]wind goes right [G]through you
It´s no [D]place for the [A]old
When you [D]first took my [A]hand
On a [D]cold Christmas [G]Eve
You [D]promised me Broadway
was [A]waiting for [D]me
You were [D]handsome you were [A]pretty
Queen [D]of New York [G]City
When the [D]band finished [G]playing
They [A]yelled out for [D]more
[D]Sinatra was [A]swinging
All the [D]drunks they were [G]singing
We [D]kissed on a [G]corner
Then [A]danced through the [D]night.
And the [G]boys of the NYPD choir
Were [D]singing Galway [Bm]Bay
And the [D]bells were [G]ringing [A]out
For Christmas [D]Day
D, A, D, G
D, G, A, D
You´re a [D]bum you´re a [A]punk
You´re an [D]old slut on [A]junk
Lying [D]there almost [G]dead
On a [A]drip in that [D]bed
You [D]scumbag you [A]maggot
You [D]cheap lousy [G]faggot
Happy [D]christmas your [G]arse
I pray [A]god it´s our [D]last.
And the [G]boys of the NYPD choir
are [D]still singing Galway [Bm]Bay
And the [D]bells are r[G]inging ou[A]t
For Christmas [D]Day
D, G, D, A
I could have [D]been someone
Well so could [G]anyone
You took my [D]dreams from me
When I first [A]found you
I kept them [D]with me babe
I put them [G]with my own
Can´t make [D]it all alone
I´ve built my [G]dreams [A]around [D]you[A]
And the [G]boys of the NYPD choir
are [D]still singing Galway [Bm]Bay
And the [D]bells are r[G]inging ou[A]t
For Christmas [D]Day
