Eb          Fm7
No more champagne
        Eb            Gm
And the fireworks are through.
        G#          Eb  
Here we are, me and you,
        Fm7              Bbsus4
Feeling lost and feeling blue.
         Eb         G#m6 
It’s the end of the party,
        Eb               Gm
And the morning seems so grey,
     G#         Eb  
So unlike yesterday,
          Fm7            Bbsus4 Bb
Now’s the time for us to say:

Chorus:
               Eb
     Happy New Year!
               G7   
     Happy New Year!
                Cm
     May we all have
       G#             C7
     A vision now and then
     Of a world
                                  Fm    Bb
     Where every neighbour is a friend.
               Eb
     Happy New Year!
               G7   
     Happy New Year!
                Cm
     May we all have
         G#                 C7
     Our hopes, our will to try:
     If we don’t
                                   Fm   Bb
     We might as well lay down and die,
             Fm Bb
     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#             Eb
Never knowing he’s astray,
         Fm7      Bbsus4 Bb
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,
     Fm Bb   Ebadd9
     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#               Eb
What lies waiting down the line
       Fm7           Bbsus4 Bb
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,
     Fm Bb   Ebadd9
     You and I.
