C#             G#
No more champagne
         A#m              Fm
And the fireworks are through
        F#            C#
Here we are, me and you
         D#m                G#
Feeling lost and feeling blue

C#             G#
Itʼs the end of the party
         A#m              Fm
And the morning seems so grey
        F#         C#
So unlike yesterday
         D#m                G#
Nowʼs the time for us to say...

Chorus:
           C#               A#m
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Fm     F#              D#m
May we all have a vision now and then
                        C#               G#
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 
           C#               A#m
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Fm       F#                  D#m
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
         A#m              Fm
How the brave new world arrives
        F#            C#
And I see how it thrives
         D#m            G#
In the ashes of our lives

C#             G#
Oh yes, man is a fool
         A#m             Fm
And he thinks heʼll be okay
        F#            C#
Dragging on, feet of clay
         D#m             G#
Never knowing heʼs astray
          F#        G#
Keeps on going anyway...

Chorus:
           C#               A#m
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Fm     F#              D#m
May we all have a vision now and then
                        C#               G#
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 
           C#               A#m
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Fm       F#                  D#m
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
         A#m              Fm
That the dreams we had before
        F#            C#
Are all dead, nothing more
         D#m             G#
Than confetti on the floor

C#             G#
Itʼs the end of a decade
         A#m            Fm
In another ten years time
        F#            C#
Who can say what weʼll find
         D#m                G#
What lies waiting down the line
       F#              G#
In the end of eighty-nine...

Chorus:
           C#               A#m
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Fm     F#              D#m
May we all have a vision now and then
                        C#               G#
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 
           C#               A#m
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Fm       F#                  D#m
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
