Happy new year
A E D E
[Verse]
A Bm A C#m7
No more champagne, and the fireworks are through,
D A Bm E
here we are, me and you feeling lost and feeling blue.
A Dm A C#m7
It's the end of the party, and the morning seems so gray..
D A Bm E E7
so unlike yesterday, now's the time for us to say..
[Chorus]
E7 A C#m7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
F#m D F#
may we all have a vision now and then,
F#7 F# Bm E
of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
A C#7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
F#m D F#
may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
F#7 F# Bm
if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,
E Bm E
you and I.
[Verse 2]
A Bm A C#m7
Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives,
D A Bm E
and I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives.
A Dm A C#
Oh, yes, man is a fool and he thinks he'll be OK,
D A Bm A
dragging on (ooo) feet of clay (ooo), never knowing he's astray,
Bm D E E7
keeps on going.....anyway.
[Chorus]
E7 A C#m7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
F#m D F#
may we all have a vision now and then,
F#7 F# Bm E
of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
A C#7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
F#m D F#
may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
F#7 F# Bm E
if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,
Bm E A
you...and I.
[Interlude 2]
A E D E
[Verse 3]
A Bm A C#m7
Seems to me now that the dreams we had before
D A Bm E
are all dead, nothing more than confetti on the floor.
A Bm A C#m7
It's the end of a decade, in another ten years time
D A
who can say (ooo) what we'll find (ooo),
Bm A
what lies waiting down the line,
Bm D E E7
in the end of...eighty-nine?
[Chorus]
E7 A C#m7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
F#m D F#
may we all have a vision now and then,
F#7 F# Bm E
of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
A C#m7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
F#m D F#
may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
F#7 F# Bm
if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,
Bm E A
you...and I.[Outro]
