This song is on the Fairytale of New York album to which I don't have access at the minute. I've got the chords and words O.K. but I'm having difficulty with the tune it breaks into at the end of the choruses. Does anyone know if this is a traditional and if so, what it is called, or did one of the band write it?

Thanks nutty. I had already found that site which is great for the lyrics and chords but only gives the chords for the tune bit, not the dots or a name. I could make something up to fit but I rather like the original.
