[Primera Parte]

A              Bm7
  No more champagne
         A/C#            
And the fireworks are through
        D            A/C#
Here we are, me and you 
         Bm                E
Feeling lost and feeling blue

         A           Bm7
It's the end of the party
         A/C#              C#
And the morning seems so grey
      D          A/C#
So unlike yesterday 
           Bm             E
Now's the time for us to say
 
[Estribillo]

           A               F°
Happy new year, happy new year
            F#m    D               F#7
May we all have a vision now and then
                        F#7/A            Bm   E
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

           A               F°
Happy new year, happy new year
            F#m      D                   F#7
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                         F#7/A             Bm  E
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
        Bm  E
You and I 
 
[Segunda Parte]

A              Bm7
  Sometimes I see  
          A/C#             C#
How the brave new world arrives
       D            A/C#
And I see how it thrives
       Bm            E
In the ashes of our lives

        A           Bm7(5-)
Oh yes,   man is a fool
         A/C#            C#
And he thinks he'll be okay
         D             A/C#
Dragging on, feet of clay
        D              A
Never knowing he's astray
          Bm       E4  E
Keeps on going anyway
 
[Estribillo]

           A               F°
Happy new year, happy new year
            F#m    D               F#7
May we all have a vision now and then
                        F#7/A            Bm   E
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

           A               F°
Happy new year, happy new year
            F#m      D                   F#7
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                         F#7/A             Bm  E
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
Bm  E     A  A7M  A6  A7M
You   and I

[Tercera Parte]

 A           Bm7
Seems to me now  
           A/C#           C#m
That the dreams we had before
         D             A/C#
Are all dead, nothing more
         Bm            E
Than confetti on the floor

         A         Bm7(5-)
It's the end of a decade
     A/C#             C#m
In another ten years time
         D              A/C#
Who can say what we'll find
           Bm            A
What lies waiting down the line
       Bm            E
In the end of eightynine

Happy new year, happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then
                        F#7/A            Bm   E
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

           A               F°
Happy new year, happy new year
            F#m      D                   F#7
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                         F#7/A             Bm  E
If we don't we might as well lay down and die

You   and I
