Biography:
The Pogues is a band of mixed Irish and English background, playing traditional Irish music with influences from punk rock and folk, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996.[1] The band reformed in 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since

[Verse 1]
A D
It was Christmas Eve, babe
G
In the drunk tank
D
An old man said to me
A
"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
And dreamed about you
[Verse 2]
A D
Got on a lucky one
G
Came in eighteen-to-one
D
I've got a feeling
A
This year's for me and you
D
So, Happy Christmas
G
I love you, baby
D
I can see a better time
G A D
When all our dreams come true
(faster)
D G A D G A D
(faster, more of an Irish jig beat)
D A D G D G A D
[Verse 3]
D A
"They've got cars big as bars
Bm G
They've got rivers of gold
D
But the wind goes right through you;
A
It's no place for the old
D Bm
When you first took my hand
D G
On a cold Christmas Eve
D
You promised me Broadway
A D
Was waiting for me
[Verse 4]
D
"You were handsome!"
D D A
"You were pretty, Queen of New York City"
D G
When the band finished playing
A D
They howled out for more
D D
Sinatra was swinging
D A
All the drunks, they were singing
D G
We kissed on a corner
A D
Then danced through the night
[Hook]
G Bm A
The boys of the N Y P D choir
D Bm
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
D G A
And the bells were ringing out
D
For Christmas day
D A Bm G
D Bm D A
D A Bm G
D A D
[Verse 5]
D D
"You're a bum, you're a punk"
D A
"You're an old slut on junk
D G
Lying there almost dead
A D
On a drip in that bed"
D D
"You scumbag, you maggot
A
You cheap lousy faggot
D G
Happy Christmas, your arse
A D
I pray God it's our last"
[Hook]
G Bm A
The boys of the N Y P D choir

Still singing "Galway Bay"
D G A
And the bells are ringing out
D
For Christmas day
D G D A D
[Verse 6]
A D
"I could have been someone"
D G
"Well, so could anyone
D
You took my dreams from me
A
When I first found you"
A 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"
