Am Am7
[Verse]
Am Fmaj7
When you see a solitary glove in the snow
G
Do you think, "where did the other one go?"
F E
And hats and scarves and days, all of our days
Am Fmaj7
Do you see the ghostly tracks in the ground?
G
The light the dark has found
F E
That not unlovely all-caressing grey
[Bridge]
Dm Am
It's hanging in the air like a question mark
G Am
A face you'll never see, a fire left unsparked
Dm Am E
Naked as the earth, unbound and set apart
[Chorus]
F G
Yes, December will come
Am G
Yes, December will go
F G
Bringing hope in its wake
Am G
Bringing what, I don't know
F G
Like a water on a bough, winter in your head
Am G
The brittleness of days will surely pass instead
F E Am
December will come, but it will go
[Verse]
Am Fmaj7
Let it snow, but not for picturesque shows
G
Not for sleighs or globes
F E
Not for hills and certainly not for lovers
Am Fmaj7
Let it snow to hide the graves we make
G
Of losses and mistakes
F E
And years of which we'd hate to see another
[Bridge]
Dm Am
Turn your face and hands gently to the light
G Am
Lose some of the wrongs you know you'll never right
Dm Am E
Naked as the day, naked as the night
[Chorus]
F G
Yes, December will come
Am G
Yes, December will go
F G
Bringing hope in its wake
Am G
Bringing what, I don't know
F G
Like a water on a bough, winter in your head
Am G
The brittleness of days will surely pass instead
F E Am
December will come, but it will go
[Middle 8]
Am Fmaj7 Em7 F E
Oooooooooh
Am Fmaj7 Em7 F E
Oooooooooh
[Bridge]
Dm Am
Turn your face and hands gently to the light
G Am
Lose some of the wrongs you know you'll never right
Dm Am E
Naked as the day, naked as the night
[Chorus]
F G
Yes, December will come
Am G
Yes, December will go
F G
Bringing hope in its wake
Am G
Bringing what, I don't know
F G
Like a water on a bough, winter in your head
Am G
The brittleness of days will surely pass instead
F E
December will come
F E
December will come
F E Am D/A
December will come, but it will go
[Outro]
Am D/A
Surely it will go
