G C F

It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank

C G

An old man said, "Son, I won't see another one"

C F

And then he sang a song, a rare old mountain tune

C G C G

I turned my eyes away, and I thought about you

C

They've got cars big as bars

F C

They've got rivers of gold

C

But the wind blows right through you

G

It's no place for the old

C F C

When I first took your hand on a cold Christmas Eve

G C

I told you that Broadway was waiting for me.

C G

You were handsome and pretty, queen of New York city

C F G C

When the band finished playing, the crowd howled for more

C G

Sinatra was swinging, and the crowd they were singing

C F G C

We kissed on the corner and danced round the floor.

F C Am

And the boys from the New York police choir were singin' Galway Bay

C F G C

And the bells were ringin' out on Christmas Day

C G F

You're a bum you're a punk you're an aul hoor on junk

C F G C

Lyin' there on the drip nearly dead in the bed

C G F

You scumbag you maggot you cheap lousy faggot

C F G C

Happy Christmas me arse, I would rather be dead...
