Intro: A5 A5 A5 C5 When you see a solitary glove in the snow G5 Do you think, "where did the other one go?" F5 E5 And hats and scarves and days, all of our days A5 C5 Do you see the ghostly tracks in the ground? G5 The light the dark has found F5 E5 That not unlovely all-caressing grace D5 A5 It's hanging in the air like a question mark G5 A5 A face you'll never see, a fire left unsparked D5 A5 G5 Naked as the earth, unbound and set apart F5 G5 Yes, December will come A5 G5 Yes, December will go F5 G5 Bringing hope in its wake A5 G5 Bringing what, I don't know F5 G5 Like a water on a bough, winter in your head A5 G5 The brittleness of days will surely pass instead F5 G5 A5 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) A5 C5 G5 F5 E5 Oooooooooh A5 C5 G5 F5 E5 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 F5 G5 December will come F5 G5 December will come F5 G5 A5 A5 December will come, but it will go A5 A5 Surely it will go A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
