D                       E      A E
The midnight bells are ringing
D                E     A G#m
A ship is setting sail
F#m                    A
A newborn baby's crying
E                  A  E
As lovers say farewell

Chorus:
D                       A  E
And I'm singing hallelujah
D                 A  G#m
Amen, the angels say
F#m                       A
Let's hope tomorrow finds us
      D   E      A E
It's new year's day

Let's toast to new beginnings, okay
Raise up a glass and say
"For all of our tomorrows
And what was yesterday" (Come on)

Chorus:
I'm singing carpe diem
I'm saying seize the day
Come on, let's live forever
It's New Year's Day

D
Where does the time go
C#m
Just watch the wind blow
F#m
Sha-la-la-la
      E  F#m     E
It's new year's day
D
Green does the grass grow
C#m
Outside my window
F#m
Sha-la-la-la
      E  F#m     E
It's new year's day

This message in a bottle
The wisdom of the wine
It's just a rainy Monday
This isn't auld lang syne

Chorus:
And I'm singing hallelujah
"Amen," the angels say
Let's hope tomorrow finds us
It's New Year's Day
