C             G
 No more champagne
          Am              Em
 And the fireworks are through
         F            C
 Here we are, me and you
          Dm                G
 Feeling lost and feeling blue

 It's the end of the party
 And the morning seems so grey
 So unlike yesterday
 Now's the time for us to say...

Chorus:
           C               Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Em     F              Dm
May we all have a vision now and then
                        C               G
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 
           C               Am
Happy new year, Happy new year
            Em       F                  Dm
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                         C                 G
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
F  G    C
You and I


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
          F        G
Keeps on going anyway...

Chorus

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
       F              G
In the end of eighty-nine...

Chorus
