 #1.
 A       Bm                 A             C#7     
 No more champagne, and the fireworks are through,
         D           A           Bm               E    
 here we are, me and you feeling lost and feeling blue.
          A          Dm             A                C#7   
 It's the end of the party, and the morning seems so gray..
      D          A              Bm            E    E7 
 so unlike yesterday, now's the time for us to say..
 
 CHORUS:
 E7        A               C#7  
 Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
            F#m    D              F#   
 may we all have a vision now and then,
      F#7               F#             Bm    E 
 of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
           A               C#7  
 Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
            F#m      D                  F#  
 may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
       F#7                F#                Bm  
 if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,
 E       Bm E 
 you and I.
 
 #2.
 A           Bm          A               C#7     
 Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives,
       D          A              Bm           E     
 and I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives.
     A             Dm          A               C# 
 Oh, yes, man is a fool and he thinks he'll be OK,
          D                A                 Bm            A     
 dragging on (ooo) feet of clay (ooo), never knowing he's astray,
          Bm    D      E   E7 
 keeps on going.....anyway.
 
 CHORUS:
 E7        A               C#7  
 Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
            F#m    D              F#   
 may we all have a vision now and then,
      F#7               F#             Bm    E 
 of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
           A               C#7  
 Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
            F#m      D                  F#  
 may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
       F#7                F#                Bm  E 
 if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,
 Bm  E     A 
 you...and I.

 A           Bm           A               C#7 
 Seems to me now that the dreams we had before
         D             A         Bm              E     
 are all dead, nothing more than confetti on the floor.
          A        Bm         A                 C#7 
 It's the end of a decade, in another ten years time
         D                    A          
 who can say (ooo) what we'll find (ooo),
           Bm               A    
 what lies waiting down the line,
        Bm     D        E    E7 
 in the end of...eighty-nine?
 
 CHORUS:
 E7        A               C#7  
 Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
            F#m    D              F#   
 may we all have a vision now and then,
      F#7               F#             Bm    E 
 of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
           A               C#7  
 Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
            F#m      D                  F#  
 may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
       F#7                F#                Bm  
 if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,
 Bm  E     A 
 you...and I.
