It was Christmas (Dsus2) Eve, (D major) babe
In the (G major) drunk tank

won't see another (A9sus4) one (A7)
And then he (Dsus2) sang a (D major) song
The rare old (G major) mountain Dew
I turned my (Dsus2) face away (D major)
And (G major) dreamed about (A major) (D major) you (A7)

I've built my (G major) dreams a (A major) round (D major) you (D major)
