Am            G
In December drinking horchata
Am                  G
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
F                 C
Winter's cold is too much to handle
F                   G
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals.

C F G
(Whoaaaaa ooooh)

Am            G
In December drinking horchata
Am                           G
Look down your glasses at that aranciata
F                     C
With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
F                     G
Boots and fists to pound on the pavement
C                         Em
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
F                       G
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

C F G
(Whoaaaaaa ooooh)

Am            G
You'd remember drinkin horchata
Am                           G          
You'd still enjoy it with your foot on masada

F                 C
Winter's cold is too much to handle
F                   G
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals.



C                         Em
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
F                       G
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
C                         Em
Ooh you had it but oh no you lost it
F                       G                
Lookin back you shouldn't have fought it


Interlude:  C-F-C-F-G

Am            G
In December drinking horchata
  Am                  G
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
F                 C
Winter's cold is too much to handle
F                   G
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals.
Am                   G
Years go by and hearts start to harden
Am                      G
Those palms and firs that grew in your garden
F                 C
Are falling down and nearing the rose beds
Am            G
The roots are shooting up through the tool shed
F                     C
With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
F                 G
Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement

C, F, G

C                         Em
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
F                       G
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
C                         Em
Ooh you had it but oh no you lost it
F                       G                    C
You understood so you shouldn't have fought it

C                         Em
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
F                       G
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
C                         Em
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
F                       G
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
