The Pogues

[Verse 1]
                 E                A
It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunktank
           E                     B
An old man said to me, won't see another one
            E                         A
And then he sang a song, The Rare Old Mountain Dew
            E                     B     E
I turned my face away and dreamed about you
 
 
[Verse 2]
         E                      A
Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one
           E                       B
I've got a feeling this year's for me and you
         E                    A
So happy Christmas, I love you baby
            E                         B          E
I can see a better time when all our dreams come true
 
 
[Verse 3] 
            E
They've got cars
       B
Big as bars
            C#m       A
They've got rivers of gold
        E
But the wind goes right through you
                      B
It's no place for the old
         E             C#m
When you first took my hand
     E              A
On a cold Christmas Eve
    E
You promised me
             B           E
Broadway was waiting for me
 
 
[Verse 4]
         E
You were handsome
 
You were pretty
                  B
Queen of New York City
         E             A
When the band finished playing
     B              E
They howled out for more
E
Sinatra was swinging
                         B
All the drunks they were singing
   E             A
We kissed on the corner
     B                  E
Then danced through the night
 
 
[Chorus]
    A                B
The boys of the NYPD choir
     E               C#m
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
        E          A
And the bells were ringing
B                 E
Out for Christmas Day
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
         E
You're a bum
 
You're a punk
                      B
You're an old slut on junk
      E            A
Lying there almost dead
     B            E
on a drip in that bed
    E
You scum bag
 
You maggot
                B
You cheap lousy faggot
      E              A
Happy Christmas your arse
       B
I pray God
         E
It's our last
 
 
[Chorus]
       A             B
The boys of the NYPD choir
       E              C#m
Still singing `Galway Bay`
        E         A
And the bells are ringing
B                 E
Out for Christmas Day
 
 
[Verse 6]
             E                            A
I could have been someone, well, so could anyone
            E                           B
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
            E                        A
I kept them with me babe, I put them with my own
              E                               B      E
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
 
 
[Chorus] 
       A             B
The boys of the NYPD choir
      E               C#m
Still singing `Galway Bay`
        E         A
And the bells are ringing
B                 E
Out for Christmas Day
