Ed Sheeran – Fairytale Of New York Chords

It was Christmas Eve babe, In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won’t see another one
And then he sang a song, The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away And dreamed about you

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

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.
When you first took my hand, on a cold Christmas Eve.
You promised me, Broadway was waiting for me.

You were handsome, you were pretty, Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing, they howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner, then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir, were singing ‘Galway Bay’
And the bells were ringing, out for Christmas day

You’re a bum, you’re a punk.
You’re an old gal on junk.
Living there almost dead on a drip in that bed.
You scum bag…

You maggot, you cheap lousy blaggar, happy Christmas your muggar
I pray God, it’s our last…

The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing `Galway Bay`
And the bells are ringing, out for Christmas Day

I could have been, someone well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from, me when I first found you
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, still Singing `Galway Bay`
And the bells are ringing, out for Christmas Day
