New Year's Song - Over the Rhine
[Intro]
D9 D Dmaj7
Em7 Asus A
[Chorus]
D9 D Dmaj7
Here’s a little New Year’s song
Em7 Asus A
Don’t worry it won’t take too long
D9 D Dmaj7
Just a bit of New Year’s cheer
Em7 Asus
To say I’m glad you’re here
[Verse 1]
D9 D Dmaj7
Little leftover Christmas tree
Em7 Asus A
Just big enough for you and me
D9 D Dmaj7
With just a single strand of lights
Em7 A
To tease the stars outside
[Bridge]
F#m B7
And we thought perhaps we’d see some friends
Em7 A
But as the old year slowly ends
F#m Bm7
The dogs are dreaming in their beds
Em7 Asus A
We might stay home instead
[Chorus]
D9 D Dmaj7
Here’s a little New Year’s song
Em7 Asus A
Don’t worry it won’t take too long
D9 D Dmaj7
Just a quiet New Year’s eve
Em7 A
There’s somethin’ up your sleeve
[Verse 2]
D9 D Dmaj7
And I might gently take your wrist
Em7 Asus A
Read your body like a Christmas list
Bm F#m Bm
The first night that the New Year brings
Em7 Asus A
I wouldn’t wanna miss a thing
[Bridge]
F#m B7
Let’s stay home and play old records
Em7 A
Our future’s bright our past is checkered
F#m Bm7
What do you say we lift a glass
Em7 Asus
Toast the ghost of another year past
[Chorus]
D9 D Dmaj7
Just a little New Year’s song
Em7 Asus A
Happy New Year everyone
D9 D Dmaj7
It came upon a midnight clear
Em7 A
Another brand new year
[Bridge]
F#m B7
New mercy comes with every morning
Em7 Asus A
The unexpected with no warning
F#m Bm7
For loved ones who’ve gone on before
Em7 Asus
Sing me Auld Lang Syne
[Instrumental]
D Em7 D Bb C Fmaj7 Bb Asus A
D Dmaj7 Em7 Asus A
D Dmaj7 Em7 A
[Bridge]
F#m B7
New mercy comes with every morning
Em7 Asus A
The unexpected with no warning

Let the dear ones you love know
Em7 Asus A
You’ll miss them when you go
