A Bm7 No more champagne A C#m And the fireworks are through. D A Here we are, me and you, Bm7 Esus4 Feeling lost and feeling blue. A Dm6 It’s the end of the party, A C#m And the morning seems so grey, D A So unlike yesterday, Bm7 Esus4 E Now’s the time for us to say: Chorus: A Happy New Year! C#7 Happy New Year! F#m May we all have D F#7 A vision now and then Of a world F#7 Bm E Where every neighbour is a friend. A Happy New Year! C#7 Happy New Year! F#m May we all have D F#7 Our hopes, our will to try: If we don’t F#7 Bm E We might as well lay down and die, Bm E 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, D A Never knowing he’s astray, Bm7 Esus4 E Keeps on going anyway: Chorus: Happy New Year! Happy New Year! May we all have A vision now and then 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, Bm E A You and I. 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, D A What lies waiting down the line Bm7 Esus4 E In the end of eighty-nine: Chorus: Happy New Year! Happy New Year! May we all have A vision now and then 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, Bm E A You and I. | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA A# C# C#m C#7 D Dm Dm6 E Esus4 F F#m F#7 B Bm Bm7 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
