#1.
A Bm A C#7
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#7
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#7
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.
#2.
A Bm A C#7
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.

#3.
A Bm A C#7
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#7
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?
