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

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

             D           A
They've got cars big as bars
             D         G
They've got rivers of gold
         D                 A
But the wind goes right through you
          D            G
It's no place for the old

When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway
Was waiting for me

           D
"You were handsome!" "You were pretty
                   A
Queen of New York City"
          D              G
When the band finished playing
      A              D
They howled out for more
   D
Sinatra was swinging
                           A
All the drunks, they were singing
        D           G
And we kissed on a corner
      A                  D
Then danced through the night

Chorus:
         G             Bm  A
And the boys of the NYPD choir
      D               Bm
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
         D          G      A7
And the bells were ringing out
               D
For Christmas day

           D
"You're a bum, you're a punk"
                       A
"You're an old cut on junk
        D           G
Lying there almost dead
       A           D
On a drip in that bed"
          D
"You scumbag, you maggot
                     A
You cheap lousy blagger
         D            G
Maybe Christmas, you mother
        A            D
I pray God it's our last"

Chorus

"I could have been someone"
"Well, so could anyone
You took my   dreams from me
When I first found you"
"I took them with me, babe
I kept them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you"

Chorus

 D                                 G        D
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
G            D                  A                      A7
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey
 D                                 G        D
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
G            D                  A                      A7
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey
 D
Dashing through the snow
                      G
On a one horse open sleigh
                    A
O'er the fields we go
 G       A        D
Laughing all the way
                  D
Bells on bobtail ring
                 G
Making spirits bright
                   A
What fun it is to ride and sing
    G        A      D
A sleighing song tonight
 D                                 G        D
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
G            D                  A                      A7
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey
 D                                 G        D
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
G            D                  A                A7    D
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey
