An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song

The Rare Old Mountain Dew And I turned my face away

And dreamed about you
(FASTER)
E A
Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one

I can see a better time When all our dreams come true

They've got cars

Big as bars

They've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you
E5 B5
It's no place for the old
E5 Db5
When you first took my hand
E5 A5
On a cold Christmas Eve
E5
You promised me
B5 E5
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome

Queen of New York City
E5 A5
When the band finished playing
B5 E5
They howled out for more

All the drunks they were singing

And we kissed on the corner
B5 E5
Then danced through the night

VERSE 2
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Living there almost dead on a drip
In that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you
