The Pogues

FCFGCG

It was Christmas CEve, babe In the Fdrunk tank

An old man Csaid to me, won't see Gsus4another oneG

And then he Csang a song, The Rare OFld Mountain Dew

I turned my Cface away and dreamed aGbout CyouG

Got on a Clucky one, came in eighFteen to one

I've got a Cfeeling this year's for Gsus4me and youG

So happy CChristmas, I love you Fbaby

I can see a Cbetter time when all our Gsus4dreams come Ctrue

They've got Ccars big as Gbars, they've got Amrivers of Fgold

But the Cwind goes right through you, it's no place for the Gold

When you Cfirst took my Amhand on a Ccold Christmas FEve

You Cpromised me Broadway was Gwaiting for Cme

You were Chandsome, you were pretty, queen of New York GCity

When the Cband finished Fplaying, they Ghowled out for Cmore

SinCatra was swinging, all the drunks they were Gsinging

We Ckissed on a Fcorner then Gdanced through the Cnight

The Fboys of the NYAmPD Gchoir were Csinging Galway AmBay

And the Cbells were Fringing ouGt for Christmas Cday

CGAmFCGCAmCFCGC

You're a Cbum, you're a punk, you're an old slut on Gjunk

Lying Cthere almost Fdead on a Gdrip in that Cbed

You Cscumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy Gfaggot

Happy CChristmas your Farse, I pray GGod it's our Clast

The Fboys of the NYPAmD Gchoir still Csinging Galway AmBay

And the Cbells are Fringing ouGt for Christmas daCy

CFCFGCG

I could have Cbeen someone, well so could Fanyone

You took my Cdreams from me when I first Gsus4found youG

I kept them Cwith me babe, I put them Fwith my own

Can't make itC all alone, I've built my Fdreams aGround Cyou

The Fboys of the NYPAmD Gchoir still Csinging Galway AmBay

And the Cbells are Fringing ouGt for Christmas daCy
