THE POGUES ? FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK

PIANO INTRO

|G/D  D  G/D|Asus4/E   D |G   A   |

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

           D
Got on the lucky one
            G
Came in eighteen to one
           D
I've got a feeling
     G          A
This year's for me and you
         D
So happy Christmas
           G
I love you baby
            D
I can see a better time
     G       A           D
When all our dreams come true

GUITAR & VIOLIN

|D//|///|A//|D//|///|G//|A//|D//|

D                    A
They got cars big as bars
         Bm        G
They got rivers of gold
        D               G
But the wind goes right through you
        D             A
It's no place for the old
         D             Bm
When you first took my hand
     D              G
On a cold Christmas Eve
    D           G
You promised me Broadway
    A           D
Was waiting for me

D                           A
You were handsome, you were pretty
      Bm          G
Queen of New York City
         D             G
When the band finished playing
     A              D
They howled out for more
  D         Bm
Sinatra was swinging
        D                G
All the drunks they were singing
   D           G
We kissed on a corner
     A                  D
Then danced through the night

    G             Bm A
The boys of the NYPD choir
     D               Bm
Were singing "Galway Bay"
        D          G
And the bells were ringing
A                 D
Out for Christmas day

|D//|A//|Bm//|G//|D//|///|A//|///|

|D//|Bm//|D//|G//|D//|G//|A//|D//|

D                      A
You're a bum, you're a punk
          Bm          G
You're an old slut on junk
      D            G
Lying there almost dead
     A            D
On a drip in that bed
    D            Bm
You scumbag, you maggot
    D           A
You cheap lousy faggot
      D              G
Happy Christmas your arse
       A            D
I pray God it's our last

    G             Bm A
The boys of the NYPD choir
      D               Bm
Still singing "Galway Bay"
        D          G
And the bells were ringing
A                 D
Out for Christmas day

             (sudden slow)
|D//|///|G//|///|D//|///|A//|///|

A            D
I could have been someone
              G
Well so could anyone
            D
You took my dreams from me
       G     A
When I first found you
            D
I kept them with me babe
           G
I put them with my own
              D
Can't make it all alone
              G       A    D
I've built my dreams around you

    G             Bm A
The boys of the NYPD choir
      D               Bm
Still singing "Galway Bay"
        D         G
And the bells are ringing
A                 D
Out for Christmas day

|D//|///|G//|///|D//|///|A//|///|
              (repeat to end)
