Intro

G -> D -> A -> D -> A

It was Christmas DEve babe

In the dGrunk tank

An old man sDaid to me,

"Won't see Aanother one"

And then he sDang a song

'The Rare Old MGountain Dew'

I turned my fDace away

And dreamed aAbout Dyou A

Got on a lDucky one

Came in eighGteen to one

I had a Dfeeling

That year was fAor me and you

Said Happy CDhristmas

I love you Gbaby

I can see a bDetter time

When allG our drAeams come Dtrue

G D A D A Bm G

D A D A D G D A D

DThey've got cars big as bAars

They've got riBmvers of gGold

But theD wind blows right through you

It's no place for the Aold

When I Dfirst took your Ahand

All your Dfingers were Gblue

But I pDromised you

Broadway was wAaiting for yDou

I was handsome, you were pAretty

Queen Dof New York ACity

When the bDand finished pGlaying

They hAowled out for mDore

Sinatra was sAwinging,

All the dDrunks they were sAinging

We kDissed on a cGorner

Then dAanced through the nDight

TheG boys of the NYPD choir

Were sDinging "Galway BmBay"

And the bDells were rGinging outA

For Christmas daDy

D A D G D G A D

DThe apartment was cAluttered

And it sDmelled like the gAutter

Where My sDad broken pGromises

lAay with the tDrash

Every cold dreary nAight

We'd end Dup in a fGight

And I'd pDray as you'd yGell

That a tArain'd rattle pDast

And the Gboys of the NYPD choir

still sDinging "Galway BmBay"

And the bDells were rGinging out A

For Christmas dayD

D G D A

I could have bDeen someone

Said so could aGnyone

That I took your dDreams from you

When you first fAound me

I kept them wDith me babe

I put them wGith my own

Can't make itD all alone

I've built my Gdreams Aaround Dyou A

Its ChristmasD Eve again

In the dGrunk tank

I'm an oDld man now

I won't see aAnother one

So I'll sDing a song

And sleep when GI am through

Dream of aDnother life

Where aGll our dAreams came tDrue.
