[Verse]
It was Christmas CEve, babe, in the Fdrunk tank
An old man Csaid, "Son, I won't see Ganother one" G7
And then he Csang a song; "The Rare Old FMountain Dew"
C F G C (riff to G)
I turned my eyes away and thought about you
[Verse]
Got on a Clucky one came in eighFteen to one
I've got a Cfeeling this year's for Gme and you G7
Happy CChristmas, how I love you Fbaby
C F G C (riff to G)
There's gonna be good times when all our dreams come true
[Verse]
They've got Ccars big as bars, they've got rivers of goFld
But the Cwind blows right through you; it's no place for the Gold
When I Cfirst took your hand, on a cold Christmas FEve
I Cbetold you that FBroadway was Gwaiting for Cme
[Bridge]
You were Chandsome and pretty, queen of New York City
When the Cband finished Fplaying the Gcrowd howled Cfor more
SiCnatra was singing, and all the crowd they were swinging
Oh, we Ckissed in the Fcorner and we Gdanced round the Cfloor
[Chorus]
And the Fboys of the NYPD choir were Csinging "Galway AmBay"
And the Cbells were ringing Gout on Christmas Cday
[Instrumental]
C F G C
[Verse]
I could have Cbeen someone, and so could Fanyone
I took your Cdreams from you when I first Gmet you
I kept them Cwith me babe and I put them Fwith my own
C F G C (riff to G)
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
[Verse]
Well you're a Cbum, you're a punk, you're an old whore on Fjunk
Lying Cthere on the drip nearly dead in the Gbed
You Cscumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot
Happy CChristmas me Farse, oh I'd Grather be Cdead.
[Chorus]
And the Fboys of the NYPD choir were Csinging "Galway AmBay"
And the Cbells were ringing Gout on Christmas Cday
[End]
