They’ve got cars

But the wind goes right through you

When you first took my hand

On a cold Christmas Eve

Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome

Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging

All the drunks they were singing
D G
We kissed on the 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 A Bm G D A D Bm D G D A D
Out for Christmas day

You’re a bum

You’re a punk

You’re an old slut on junk

Living there almost dead on a drip

In that bed

You scum bag
You maggot

You cheap lousy faggot

Happy Christmas your arse

I pray God
D A D
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
G
Well, So could anyone
D
You took my dreams
A
From me 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
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still Singing `Galway Bay`
And the bells are ringing
Out for Christmas Day
