Selection chords: Olivia Martin

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

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

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

B            F#
Sometimes I see
         G#m              D#m
How the brave new world arrives
        E            B
And I see how it thrives
         C#m            F#
In the ashes of our lives

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

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

B            F#
Seems to me now
         G#m              D#m
That the dreams we had before
        E            B
Are all dead, nothing more
         C#m             F#
Than confetti on the floor

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

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