1. No more champagne, and the fireworks are through,

C G Am D

here we are, me and you feeling lost and feeling blue.

G Cm G B7

It's the end of the party, and the morning seems so grey

C G Am D - D7

so unlike yesterday, now's the time for us to say :

G B7

Happy New Year, Happy New Year,

- Em C E

may we all have a vision now and then,

E7 E Am - D

of a world where every neighbour is a friend.

G B7

Happy New Year, Happy New Year,

- Em C E

may we all have our hopes, our will to try,

E7 E Am - D

if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,

Am - D

you and I .

G Am G B7

2. Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives,

C G Am D

and I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives.

G Cm G B7

Oh yes, man is a fool and he thinks he'll be ok,

C G Am G

dragging on (ooh) feet of clay (ooh), never knowing he's astray,

Am - C D - D7

keeps on going anyway.

G B7

Happy New Year, Happy New Year,

- Em C E

may we all have a vision now and then,

E7 E Am - D

of a world where every neighbour is a friend.

G B7

Happy New Year, Happy New Year,

- Em C E

may we all have our hopes, our will to try,

E7 E Am - D

if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,

Am - D G - D - C - D G - D - C - D

you and I .

G Am G B7

3. Seems to me now that the dreams we had before

C G Am D

are all dead, nothing more than confetti on the floor.

G Am G B7

It's the end of a decade, in another ten years time

C G

who can say (ooh) what we'll find (ooh),

Am G

what lies waiting down the line,

Am - C D - D7

in the end of Eighty-nine?
