No more champagne
Am Em
And the fireworks are through
F C
Here we are, me and you
Dm G
Feeling lost and feeling blue
C G
It’s the end of the party
Am Em
And the morning seems so grey
F C
So unlike yesterday
Dm G
Now’s the time for us to say…
Chorus:
C Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
Em F Dm
May we all have a vision now and then
C G
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
C Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
Em F Dm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
C G
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
F G C
You and I
C G
Sometimes I see
Am Em
How the brave new world arrives
F C
And I see how it thrives
Dm G
In the ashes of our lives
C G
Oh yes, man is a fool
Am Em
And he thinks he’ll be okay
F C
Dragging on, feet of clay
Dm G
Never knowing he’s astray
F G
Keeps on going anyway…
Chorus:
C Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
Em F Dm
May we all have a vision now and then
C G
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
C Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
Em F Dm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
C G
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
F G C
You and I
C G
Seems to me now
Am Em
That the dreams we had before
F C
Are all dead, nothing more
Dm G
Than confetti on the floor
C G
It’s the end of a decade
Am Em
In another ten years time
F C
Who can say what we’ll find
Dm G
What lies waiting down the line
F G
In the end of eighty-nine…
Chorus:
C Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
Em F Dm
May we all have a vision now and then
C G
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
C Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
Em F Dm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
C G
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
F G C
You and I
