C             G
No more champagne
         Am              Em
And the fireworks are through
        F            C
Here we are, me and you
         Dm                G
Feeling lost and feeling blue

C             G
Itʼs the end of the party
         Am              Em
And the morning seems so grey
        F         C
So unlike yesterday
         Dm                G
Nowʼs the time for us to say...

Chorus:
           C               Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Em     F              Dm
May we all have a vision now and then
                        C               G
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 
           C               Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Em       F                  Dm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                         C                 G
If we donʼt we might as well lay down and die
F  G    C
You and I

C            G
Sometimes I see
         Am              Em
How the brave new world arrives
        F            C
And I see how it thrives
         Dm            G
In the ashes of our lives
C             G
Oh yes, man is a fool
         Am             Em
And he thinks heʼll be okay
        F            C
Dragging on, feet of clay
         Dm             G
Never knowing heʼs astray
          F        G
Keeps on going anyway...

Chorus:
           C               Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Em     F              Dm
May we all have a vision now and then
                        C               G
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 
           C               Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Em       F                  Dm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                         C                 G
If we donʼt we might as well lay down and die
F  G    C
You and I

C            G
Seems to me now
         Am              Em
That the dreams we had before
        F            C
Are all dead, nothing more
         Dm             G
Than confetti on the floor
C             G
Itʼs the end of a decade
         Am            Em
In another ten years time
        F            C
Who can say what weʼll find
         Dm                G
What lies waiting down the line
       F              G
In the end of eighty-nine...

Chorus:
           C               Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Em     F              Dm
May we all have a vision now and then
                        C               G
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 
           C               Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Em       F                  Dm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                         C                 G
If we donʼt we might as well lay down and die
F  G    C
You and I
