  			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 (E9/sus4) 
It's the (A) end 
Of the party (Bm7/b5) 
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?
