No more champagne
A C#m
And the fireworks are through
D A
Here we are, me and you
Bm7 Esus4 E
Feeling lost and feeling blue
A Dm6
It´s the end of the party
A C#m
And the morning seems so grey
D A
So unlike yesterday
Bm Esus4 E
Now´s the time for us to say
Chorus:
A Ddim
Happy new year happy new year
F#m/C# D F#7
May we all have a vision now and then
Bm E
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
A Ddim
Happy new year happy new year
F#m/C# D F#7
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
Bm E
If we don´t we might as well lay down and die
Bm E
You and I
A Bm7
Sometimes I see
A C#m
How the brave new world arrives
D A
And I see how it thrives
Bm7 Esus4 E
In the ashes of our lives
A Dm6
Oh yes, man is a fool
A C#m
And he thinks he´ll be okay
D A
Dragging on, feet of clay
Bm
Never knowing he´s astray
Esus4 E
Keeps on going anyway
Chorus:
A Ddim
Happy new year happy new year
F#m/C# D F#7
May we all have a vision now and then
Bm E
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
A Ddim
Happy new year happy new year
F#m/C# D F#7
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
Bm E
If we don´t we might as well lay down and die
Bm E
You and I
A Bm7
Seems to me now
A C#m
That the dreams we had before
D A
Are all dead, nothing more
Bm7 Esus4 E
Than confetti on the floor
A Dm6
It´s the end of a decade
A C#m
In another ten years time
D A
Who can say what we´ll find
Bm
What lies waiting down the line
Esus4 E
In the end of eighty-nine
Chorus:
A Ddim
Happy new year happy new year
F#m/C# D F#7
May we all have a vision now and then
Bm E
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
A Ddim
Happy new year happy new year
F#m/C# D F#7
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
Bm E
If we don´t we might as well lay down and die
Bm E
You and I
