F           Gm7
No more champagne
        F             Am
And the fireworks are through.
        Bb          F   
Here we are, me and you,
        Gm7              Csus4
Feeling lost and feeling blue.
         F          Bbm6 
It’s the end of the party,
        F                Am
And the morning seems so grey,
     Bb         F   
So unlike yesterday,
          Gm7            Csus4 C
Now’s the time for us to say:

Chorus:
               F
     Happy New Year!
               A7   
     Happy New Year!
                Dm
     May we all have
       Bb             D7
     A vision now and then
     Of a world
                                  Gm    C
     Where every neighbour is a friend.
               F
     Happy New Year!
               A7   
     Happy New Year!
                Dm
     May we all have
         Bb                 D7
     Our hopes, our will to try:
     If we don’t
                                   Gm   C
     We might as well lay down and die,
             Gm C
     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,
      Bb             F
Never knowing he’s astray,
         Gm7      Csus4 C
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,
     Gm C    Fadd9
     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,
          Bb               F
What lies waiting down the line
       Gm7           Csus4 C
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,
     Gm C    Fadd9
     You and I.
