G#          Bbm7
No more champagne
        G#/C          Cm
And the fireworks are through.
        C#          G#/C
Here we are, me and you,
        Bbm7             Ebsus4
Feeling lost and feeling blue.
         G#         C#m6/Bb
It’s the end of the party,
        G#/C             Cm
And the morning seems so grey,
     C#         G#/C
So unlike yesterday,
          Bbm7           Ebsus4 Eb
Now’s the time for us to say:

Chorus:
               G#
     Happy New Year!
               C7/E
     Happy New Year!
                Fm
     May we all have
       C#             F7
     A vision now and then
     Of a world
                           F7/A   Bbm   Eb
     Where every neighbour is a friend.
               G#
     Happy New Year!
               C7/E
     Happy New Year!
                Fm
     May we all have
         C#                 F7
     Our hopes, our will to try:
     If we don’t
                          F7/A     Bbm  Eb
     We might as well lay down and die,
             Bbm Eb
     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,
      C#             G#
Never knowing he’s astray,
         Bbm7     Ebsus4 Eb
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,
     Bbm Eb  G#add9
     You and I.

Instrumental: G#add9 | G#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,
          C#               G#
What lies waiting down the line
       Bbm7          Ebsus4 Eb
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,
     Bbm Eb  G#add9
     You and I.

Instrumental: G#add9 | G#maj9
