It was Christmas Eve babe
         G
In the drunk tank
            D                    A
An old man said to me, 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 a lucky one
         G
Came in eighteen to one

They’ve got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you

It’s no place for the old

On a cold Christmas eve

You promised me
            A            D
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome

You were pretty

Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more
D
Sinatra was swinging,
                          A
All the drunks they were singing
     D          G
We kissed on a corner
        A               D
Then danced through the night

For Christmas day

You’re an old slut on junk
       D           G        A          D
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
      D
You scumbag, you maggot
                 A
You cheap lousy faggot
         D           G

I put them with my own

I’ve built my dreams around you
