Now’s the (Bm7)time for us to say...

Hap py New (A)Year.

Hap py New (C#7)Year.

May we all have a vi sion now and then, of a world where ev ’ry neigh bour is a (Bm)friend.

Hap py New (A)Year.

Hap py New (C#7)Year.

May we all have our hopes, our will to try.

If we don’t we might as well lay down and (Bm)die.
