INTRO: Asus2  E/A  A   E/A

VERSE: (A) No more cham (Bm7)pagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are (D)
Me and you (A/C#)
Feeling lost (Bm7)
And feeling blue (E9sus4)
It's the (A) end
Of the party (Bm7b5)
And the (A/C#) morning seems so (C#7) grey
So unlike (D)
Yesterday (A/C#)
Now's the (Bm7) time for us to say (Esus4) (E)

CHORUS: Happy new (A) year
Happy new (C#7) year
May we all (F#m) have a (D) vision now and then (F#7)
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend (Bm7)  (E)
Happy new (A) year
Happy new (C#7) year
May we all (F#m) have our (D) hopes, our will to try (F#7)
If we don't, we might as well lay down and die (Bm7) (E) 
You and I (Bm7) (E7)

VERSE: 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 ok
Dragging on (ooh)
Feet of clay (ooh)
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going
Anyway

CHORUS 

VERSE: Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead
Nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end (end)
Of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say (ooh)
What we'll find (ooh)
What lies waiting
Down the line
In the end of
Eighty-nine?
