C5                           G5 
Quit too late you're gonna die too soon 
C5                           G5 
Woman with a needle and a silver spoon 
D5                             D5 
Holed up singin' the devil's tune 
C5                    D5 
Playin' the blues, payin' your dues 
G5              D5       E5 
Speedin' your young life away 
         G5                    E5 
I never will get over what I heard about you 
     C5          D5          G5 
The first thing New Year's Day 
 
I can't say I felt so sad 

The truth is I think I'm mad 

At the selfish way you left your dad 

When you know what a hard luck time he's had 

Sleepin' through a dream come true 

You just threw all that talent away 

I never will get over what I heard about you 

The first thing New Year's Day

Ooooo hoooooo

Slippin' away

Ooooo hoooooo

New Year's Day 
 
 
 
I threw the phone against the wall 
Falling apart when I got the call 
I went out walkin' with the weight of it all 
That's when it hit me like a waterfall 
I'm playin' the blues, payin' my dues 
Speedin' my young life away 
I never will get over what I heard about you 
The first thing New Year's Day 
 
 
 
Ooooo hoooooo  
Slippin' away 
Ooooo hoooooo 
New Year's Day

Quit too late, you died too soon 
To the bitter end tried and true 
Goodbye old friend 
We'll be missing you
