1.    No more champagne, and the fireworks are through,
          C             G              Am            D
    here we are, me and you feeling lost and feeling blue.
         G              Cm               G               B7
    It's the end of the party, and the morning seems so grey
 C                G             Am                D       - D7
    so unlike yesterday, now's the time for us to say :
 
         G               B7 
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
       - Em        C                  E
may we all       have a vision now and then,
 E7                E                   Am      - D
of a world where every neighbour is a friend. 
       G                 B7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
     - Em                C                   E
may we all         have our hopes, our will to try, 
          E7        E                    Am   - D
if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,  
      Am  - D       
you and  I .
 
    G             Am          G              B7
2.    Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives,
       C               G           Am             D
    and I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives.
       G              Cm           G            B7
    Oh yes, man is a fool and he thinks he'll be ok,
       C                 G                Am                    G    
    dragging on (ooh) feet of clay (ooh), never knowing he's astray,
        Am    - C          D      - D7
    keeps on going        anyway.

       G               B7 
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
   - Em            C               E
may we all       have a vision now and then,
 E7                E                   Am      - D
of a world where every neighbour is a friend. 
           G             B7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
      - Em            C                       E
may we all         have our hopes, our will to try, 
          E7              E            Am   - D
if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,  
Am  - D      G   - D - C - D           G - D - C - D
you         and  I .

3. Seems to me now that the dreams we had before
         C               G           Am               D
    are all dead, nothing more than confetti on the floor.
       G           Am              G            B7
    It's the end of a decade, in another ten years time
         C                    G                                
    who can say (ooh) what we'll find (ooh),
         Am                     G
    what lies waiting down the line,
      Am - C                  D       - D7
    in the end        of Eighty-nine?
