C#          Ebm7
No more champagne
        C#/F          Fm
And the fireworks are through.
        F#          C#/F
Here we are, me and you,
        Ebm7             G#sus4
Feeling lost and feeling blue.
         C#         F#m6/Eb
It’s the end of the party,
        C#/F             Fm
And the morning seems so grey,
     F#         C#/F
So unlike yesterday,
          Ebm7           G#sus4 G#
Now’s the time for us to say:

Chorus:
               C#
     Happy New Year!
               F7/A
     Happy New Year!
                Bbm
     May we all have
       F#             Bb7
     A vision now and then
     Of a world
                           Bb7/D  Ebm   G#
     Where every neighbour is a friend.
               C#
     Happy New Year!
               F7/A
     Happy New Year!
                Bbm
     May we all have
         F#                 Bb7
     Our hopes, our will to try:
     If we don’t
                          Bb7/D    Ebm  G#
     We might as well lay down and die,
             Ebm G#
     You and I.

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives,
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives.
Oh yes, man is a fool,
And he thinks he’ll be okay,
Dragging on, feet of clay,
      F#             C#
Never knowing he’s astray,
         Ebm7     G#sus4 G#
Keeps on going anyway:

Chorus:
     Happy New Year!
     Happy New Year!
     May we all have
     A vision now and then
     Of a world
     Where every neighbour is a friend.
     Happy New Year!
     Happy New Year!
     May we all have
     Our hopes, our will to try:
     If we don’t
     We might as well lay down and die,
     Ebm G#  C#add9
     You and I.

Instrumental: C#add9 | C#maj9

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor.
It’s the end of a decade,
In another ten years time
Who can say what we’ll find,
          F#               C#
What lies waiting down the line
       Ebm7          G#sus4 G#
In the end of eighty-nine:

Chorus:
     Happy New Year!
     Happy New Year!
     May we all have
     A vision now and then
     Of a world
     Where every neighbour is a friend.
     Happy New Year!
     Happy New Year!
     May we all have
     Our hopes, our will to try:
     If we don’t
     We might as well lay down and die,
     Ebm G#  C#add9
     You and I.
