Fairytale Of New York Chords by The Pogues

Verse 1

It was Christmas CEve babe

In the Fdrunk tank

An old man Csaid to me, won't see Ganother one

And then he Csang a song

The Rare Old FMountain Dew

I turned my Cface away

And dreamed Gabout Cyou

Verse 2

Got on a Clucky one

Came in eighFteen to one

I've got a Cfeeling

This year's for Gme and you

So happy CChristmas

I love youF baby

I can see a Cbetter time

When all our dGreams come Ctrue

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

You were Chandsome

You were pretty

Queen of New York GCity

When the Cband finished Fplaying

They Ghowled out for Cmore

CSinatra was swinging

All the drunks they were Gsinging

We Ckissed on a Fcorner

Then Gdanced through the Cnight

Chorus

The Fboys of the NYPD Gchoir

Were Csinging Galway AmBay

And the Cbells were Fringing Gout

For Christmas Cday

Verse 5

You're a Cbum

You're a punk

Lying Cthere almost Fdead on a Gdrip in that Cbed

You Cscumbag, you maggot

Happy CChristmas your Farse

The boyFs of the NYPD Gchoir

Still sCinging Galway AmBay

And the Cbells are Fringing Gout

For Christmas Cday

I've built my dreams Garound Cyou

Chorus

The boyFs of the NYPD Gchoir

Still Csinging Galway AmBay

And the Cbells are Fringing Gout

For Christmas Cday
