[Verse]
C F
It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunktank
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 G C
I turned my face away and dreamed about you
[Verse]
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 G C
I can see a better time, when all our dreams come true
[Interlude]

[Verse]
C
They've got cars
G
Big as bars
Am F
They've got rivers of gold
C
But the wind goes right through you
G
It's no place for the old
C Am
When you first took my hand
C F
On a cold Christmas Eve
C
You promised me
G C
Broadway was waiting for me
[Pre-Chorus]
C
You were handsome
You were pretty
G
Queen of New York City
C F
When the band finished playing
G C
They howled out for more
C
Sinatra was swinging
G
All the drunks they were singing
C F
We kissed on the corner
G C
Then danced through the night
[Chorus]
F Am
The boys of the NYPD choir
C Am
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
C
And the bells
G C
were ringing out for Christmas day
[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
C
You're a bum
You're a punk
G
You're an old slut on junk
C F G
Living there almost dead on a drip
C
In that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
G
You cheap lousy faggot
C F
Happy Christmas your arse
G
I pray God
C
It's our last
[Chorus]

[Verse]
C F
I could have been someone, well so could anyone
C G
You took my dreams from me, when I first found you
C F
I kept them with me babe, I put them with my own
C G C
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
[Chorus]

The boys of the NYPD choir

Still Singing 'Galway Bay'
