Fairytale Of New York: This is the way he played it on jools holland, Capo on First fret. Basically chords like this for first two verses: C F C G C F C G C G And then a slight change to: C F C G C G C F G C Then the third part is: C C F G C C C F G C F C A C F G C It's just that repeated. But here how the timing is roughly.

^CIt was ^FChristmas Eve babe in the drunk tank ^CAn old man^G said to me, won't see another one ^CAnd then ^Fhe sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew ^CI turned my face away ^Gand dreamed ^Cabout you. ^G

Got on a lucky one came in eighteen to one I've got a feeling this year's for me and you So happy Christmas, I love you baby There's gonna be some goodtime when all our dreams come true

^CThey've g^Fot cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold ^CBut the w^Gind goes right through you; it's no place for the old ^CWhen you ^Gfirst took my hand, on a cold Christmas Eve ^CYou p^Fromis^Ged me^C Broadway was waiting for me.

^CYou were handsome you were pretty, queen of New York City ^CWhen the band finished^F playing they howled ou^Gt for more ^C ^CSinatra was swinging, all the drunks they were singing ^CWe kissed on a corner ^Fthen danced through the^G night. ^C

Chorus:

^FThe boys of the NYPD ch^Coir were singing "Galway Bay" ^A ^CAnd the bells were ^Fringing out for Chri^Gstmas day ^C

^CI could have been someone, well so could a^Fnyone ^CYou took my dreams from me when I first foun^Gd you ^CI kept them with me babe; I put them wi^Fth my own ^CCan't make it all alone^G, I've built my dr^Ceams around you ^G

Chorus:

^FThe boys of the NYPD ch^Coir were singing "Galway Bay" ^A ^CAnd the bells were ^Fringing out for Chri^Gstmas day ^C

^CYou're a bum, you're a punk, you're an old ^Fslut on junk ^CLying there almost dead on a drip i^Gn that bed ^CYou scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot ^CHappy Christmas my arse, ^FI'd rather be^G dead. ^C

Last chorus:

^FThe boys of the NYPD ch^Coir were singing "Galway Bay" ^A ^CAnd the bells were ^Fringing out for Chri^Gstmas day ^C ^CSo happy Christmas, I love you ^Fbaby ^CThere's gonna be som^Ge goodtime when all our dre^Cams come true ^G ^CSo, happy christmas, I love you baby
