                 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 
            A     D   A 
And dreamed about you
         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

Where all our dreams come true
