F#          G#m7
No more champagne
        F#            Bbm
And the fireworks are through.
        B           F#  
Here we are, me and you,
        G#m7             C#sus4
Feeling lost and feeling blue.
         F#         Bm6  
It’s the end of the party,
        F#               Bbm
And the morning seems so grey,
     B          F#  
So unlike yesterday,
          G#m7           C#sus4 C#
Now’s the time for us to say:

Chorus:
               F#
     Happy New Year!
               Bb7  
     Happy New Year!
                Ebm
     May we all have
       B              Eb7
     A vision now and then
     Of a world
                                  G#m   C#
     Where every neighbour is a friend.
               F#
     Happy New Year!
               Bb7  
     Happy New Year!
                Ebm
     May we all have
         B                  Eb7
     Our hopes, our will to try:
     If we don’t
                                   G#m  C#
     We might as well lay down and die,
             G#m 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,
      B              F#
Never knowing he’s astray,
         G#m7     C#sus4 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,
     G#m C#  F#add9
     You and I.

Instrumental: F#add9 | F#maj
              F#6 | F#maj     } 2 times

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,
          B                F#
What lies waiting down the line
       G#m7          C#sus4 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,
     G#m C#  F#add9
     You and I.
