Intro

G -> D -> A -> D -> A

 It was Christmas DEve babe

 In the dGrunk tank

 An old man sDaid to me,

 "Won't see Aanother one"

 And then he sDang a song

 'The Rare Old MGountain Dew'

 I turned my fDace away

 And dreamed aAbout Dyou A

 Got on a lDucky one

 Came in eighGteen to one

 I had a Dfeeling

 That year was fAor me and you

 Said Happy CDhristmas

 I love you Gbaby

 I can see a bDetter time

 When allG our drAeams come Dtrue

G D A D A Bm G

D A D A D G D A D

DThey've got cars big as bAars

 They've got riBmvers of gGold

 But theD wind blows right through you

 It's no place for the Aold

 When I Dfirst took your Ahand

 All your Dfingers were Gblue

 But I pDromised you

 Broadway was wAaiting for yDou

 I was handsome, you were pAretty

 Queen Dof New York ACity

 When the bDand finished pGlaying

 They hAowled out for mDore

 Sinatra was sAwinging,

 All the dDrunks they were sAinging

 We kDissed on a cGorner

 Then dAanced through the nDight

 TheG boys of the NYPD choir

 Were sDinging "Galway BmBay"

 And the bDells were rGinging outA

 For Christmas daDy

D A D G D G A D

DThe apartment was cAluttered

 And it sDmelled like the gAutter

 Where My sDad broken pGromises

 lAay with the tDrash

 Every cold dreary nAight

 We'd end Dup in a fGight

 And I'd pDray as you'd yGell

 That a tArain'd rattle pDast

 And the Gboys of the NYPD choir

 still sDinging "Galway BmBay"

 And the bDells were rGinging out A

 For Christmas dayD

D G D A

 I could have bDeen someone

 Said so could aGnyone

 That I took your dDreams from you

 When you first fAound me

 I kept them wDith me babe

 I put them wGith my own

 Can't make itD all alone

 I've built my Gdreams Aaround Dyou A

 Its ChristmasD Eve again

 In the dGrunk tank

 I'm an oDld man now

 I won't see aAnother one

 So I'll sDing a song

 And sleep when GI am through

 Dream of aDnother life

 Where aGll our dAreams came tDrue.
