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
