A Bm7
1. No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
D A/C#
Here we are, me and you
Bm7 E9sus4
Feeling lost and feeling blue
A Bm7b5
It's the end of the party
A/C# C#7
And the morning seems so grey
D A/C#
So unlike yesterday
Bm7 Esus4 E
Now's the time for us to say
A
R: Happy new year
C#7
Happy new year
F#m D F#7
May we all have a vision now and then
Bm7 E
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't, we might as well lay down and die
Bm7 E7
You and I
2. Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he´ll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he´s astray
Keeps on going anyway
R: Happy new year...
3. Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It´s the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we´ll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine
R: Happy new year...
