[Verse 1]
G C
It was Christmas Eve babe, In the drunktank

G C D G
I turned my face away And dreamed about you

[Verse 3]

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
G Em
When you first took my hand
G C
On a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me
C D G
Broadway was waiting for me
[Verse 4]

You were handsome
You were pretty

Queen of New York City
G C
When the band finished playing
D G
They howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging

All the drunks they were singing
G C
We kissed on the corner
D G
Then danced through the night
[Chorus]

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing ‘Galway Bay’
G C
And the bells were ringing
D G
Out for Christmas day
[Instrumental]
