It was Christmas Eve babe, In the drunk tank
           C                     G 
An old man said to me, won't see another one
            C                         F
And then he sang a song, The Rare Old Mountain Dew
            C             F         G   C       G
I turned my face away and dreamed about you

         C                     F
Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one
           C                       G
I've got a feeling This year's for me and you
         C                     F
So happy Christmas, I love you baby
            C                F        G          C
I can see a better time When all our dreams come true

            C
They've got cars

Big as bars
            Am        F
They've got rivers of gold
        C
But the wind goes right through you

It's no place for the old
         C             G
When you first took my hand

On a cold Christmas Eve

Queen of New York City

C
Sinatra was swinging
                         G
All the drunks they were singing
   C             F
We kissed on the corner

Then danced through the night

    F             Am   G
The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing 'Galway Bay'
        F
And the bells were ringing
G                 C
Out for Christmas day
