Am Am7

[Verse]

          Am                          Fmaj7 
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                             Fmaj7
Do you see the ghostly tracks in the ground?
                         G
The light the dark has found
                   F                E
That not unlovely all-caressing grey

[Bridge]

      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             E  
Naked as the earth, unbound and set apart

[Chorus]

      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          E               Am
December will come, but it will go

[Verse]

       Am                             Fmaj7
Let it snow, but not for picturesque shows
                    G
Not for sleighs or globes
                    F                 E
Not for hills and certainly not for lovers

       Am                         Fmaj7
Let it snow to hide the graves we make
                G
Of losses and mistakes
                         F           E
And years of which we'd hate to see another

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

      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          E               Am
December will come, but it will go

[Middle 8]

Am Fmaj7 Em7 F E
Oooooooooh
Am Fmaj7 Em7 F E
Oooooooooh

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

      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           E
December will come
   F           E
December will come
   F            E               Am   D/A
December will come, but it will go

[Outro]

           Am  D/A
Surely it will go
