D           Em7
No more champagne
        D             F#m
And the fireworks are through.
        G           D   
Here we are, me and you,
        Em7              Asus4
Feeling lost and feeling blue.
         D          Gm6  
It’s the end of the party,
        D                F#m
And the morning seems so grey,
     G          D   
So unlike yesterday,
          Em7            Asus4 A
Now’s the time for us to say:

Chorus:
               D
     Happy New Year!
               F#7  
     Happy New Year!
                Bm
     May we all have
       G              B7
     A vision now and then
     Of a world
                                  Em    A
     Where every neighbour is a friend.
               D
     Happy New Year!
               F#7  
     Happy New Year!
                Bm
     May we all have
         G                  B7
     Our hopes, our will to try:
     If we don’t
                                   Em   A
     We might as well lay down and die,
             Em A
     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,
      G              D
Never knowing he’s astray,
         Em7      Asus4 A
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,
     Em A    Dadd9
     You and I.

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,
          G                D
What lies waiting down the line
       Em7           Asus4 A
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,
     Em A    Dadd9
     You and I.
