Tonality
CG
No more champagne
AmEm
And the fireworks are through
FC
Here we are, me and you
DmG
Feeling lost and feeling blue
CG
Itʼs the end of the party
AmEm
And the morning seems so grey
FC
So unlike yesterday
DmG
Nowʼs the time for us to say...
Chorus:
CAm
Happy new year, Happy new year
EmFDm
May we all have a vision now and then
CG
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
CAm
Happy new year, Happy new year
EmFDm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
CG
If we donʼt we might as well lay down and die
FGC
You and I
CG
Sometimes I see
AmEm
How the brave new world arrives
FC
And I see how it thrives
DmG
In the ashes of our lives
CG
Oh yes, man is a fool
AmEm
And he thinks heʼll be okay
FC
Dragging on, feet of clay
DmG
Never knowing heʼs astray
FG
Keeps on going anyway...
Chorus:
CAm
Happy new year, Happy new year
EmFDm
May we all have a vision now and then
CG
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
CAm
Happy new year, Happy new year
EmFDm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
CG
If we donʼt we might as well lay down and die
FGC
You and I
CG
Seems to me now
AmEm
That the dreams we had before
FC
Are all dead, nothing more
DmG
Than confetti on the floor
CG
Itʼs the end of a decade
AmEm
In another ten years time
FC
Who can say what weʼll find
DmG
What lies waiting down the line
FG
In the end of eighty-nine...
Chorus:
CAm
Happy new year, Happy new year
EmFDm
May we all have a vision now and then
CG
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
CAm
Happy new year, Happy new year
EmFDm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
CG
If we donʼt we might as well lay down and die
FGC
You and I
