D5 F5 A#5
Mermaid sits on a side wash rock in the harbor
C5
Watching the children play
D5 F5
And every day, sun or rain,
A#5 C5
Old Man kneels to the earth to pray
D5
For the rain and stars
F5
And the cars at the heart
A#5 C5
The dark, and windy, Vancouver
(break) F5
A black day in December
A5 A\G5
She sees the worst is yet to come, yeah
F5 E5 D5
A big wave on the horizon
F5 A\G5
The first wind blowing in
F5 E5 D5
Left Stanley soldiers felled and broken
F5 C5
And we went oh, oh?
D5 F5
And Old Man kneels to the earth
A#5
In his mother's garden
C5
Where his own father was laid
D5 F5
And every day, sun or rain
A#5 C5
Mermaid sits on her rock and she prays
D5
For the salmon in the sea
F5
For the winged in the trees
A#5
For the Old Man on his knees
D5
Oh and for the beauty in the park
F5
And the cars at the heart
A#5
Her own sisters and her brothers
C5
And ten thousand friends and lovers
(break) F5
Black day in December
A#5 C5 F5 A#5
A black day in December
D5 F5 A#5
Mermaid sits on a tide wash rock in the harbor
C5
Where the blue heron would lay
D5 F5
And every day, sun or rain,
A#5 C5
Old friends fall to the earth and decay
D5
With the city by the sea
F5
Sweet brine in the breeze
A#5
With the mountains watching over
C5
Her Vancouver
(break) F5
Black day in December
A#5 F5
A black day in December
C5 C#(high) F5
Black day in December
A#5 F5
A black day in December
C5 C#5 Dm(high)
Oh, oh...
