Intro: Am   Am7

          Am                          C 
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                             C
Do you see the ghostly tracks in the ground?
                         G
The light the dark has found
                   F                E
That not unlovely all-caressing grace

      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             G  
Naked as the earth, unbound and set apart

      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          G               Am
December will come, but it will go

Let it snow, but not for picturesque shows
Not for sleighs or globes
Not for hills and certainly not for lovers
Let it snow to hide the graves we make
Of losses and mistakes
And years of which we'd hate to see another

Turn your face and hands gently to the light
Lose some of the wrongs you know you'll never right
Naked as the day, naked as the night

Yes, December will come
Yes, December will go
Bringing hope in its wake
Bringing what, I don't know
Like a water on a bough, winter in your head
The brittleness of days will surely pass instead
December will come, but it will go

(Verse chords)
Am C G F E
Oooooooooh
Am C G F E
Oooooooooh

Turn your face and hands gently to the light
Lose some of the wrongs you know you'll never right
Naked as the day, naked as the night

Yes, December will come
Yes, December will go
Bringing hope in its wake
Bringing what, I don't know
Like a water on a bough, winter in your head
The brittleness of days will surely pass instead
   F           G
December will come
   F           G
December will come
   F           G                Am   Am7
December will come, but it will go
               Am          Am7
Surely it will go

Am Am7
