Fairytale Of New York
Shane MacGowan and Jem Finer

D / G   G D Asus4 / A D   D G   G D   G D   D G Asus4/E D
It was Christmas Eve babe, In the drunktank
An old man said to me, won't see another one  And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew And I turned my face away
And dreamed about    you

D / G   G D Asus4 / A D   D G   G D   G D   D G Asus4/E D
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

G/D D G/D Asus4           /faster now/     D A  D G A D
D A / Bm G   D / D A   
They've got cars Big as bars / They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you / It's no place for the old
A D Bm / D G   D  / A D
When you first took my hand / On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway / Was waiting for me

D / A D   D G / A D
You were handsome You were pretty / Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing / They howled out for more
D A / A   D G / A D
Sinatra was swinging / All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner / Then danced through the night
G Bm A  / D Bm   D G / A D A Bm G  D A  D Bm D G   D A D
The boys of the NYPD choir / Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing out / For Christmas day

D D / D A   D G A / D
You're a bum You're a punk / You're an old slut on junk
Living there almost dead on a drip /In that bed
D D / D A   D G / A D A D
You scum bag You maggot / You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse / I pray God It's our last
   G Bm A   D Bm   D G   A D
   The boys of the NYPD choir / Still singing `Galway Bay`....
A D / D G   G D / D A  
I could have been someone / Well, So could anyone
You took my dreams from me / When I first found you
A D / D G   G D / D G A D  
I kept them with me babe / I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone / I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir ...
