VERSE1:
Chords:
Am      x02210    F x33211
Fmaj7/A x03210    E 022100
G       320003

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


PRE-CHORUS1:
Chords:
Dm xx0231 or x57765
Am x02210 or 577555
G  320003 or 355433

     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


CHORUS1:
Chords:
Dm xx0231 or x57765
Am x02210 or 577555
G  320003 or 355433

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

  Am          G         Am      G
December will come, but it will go


[play: INTRO Figure]  [x2]


VERSE2:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

Chords:
Am      x02210    F x33211
Fmaj7/A x03210    E 022100
G       320003

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


PRE-CHORUS2:
Chords:
Dm xx0231 or x57765
Am x02210 or 577555
G  320003 or 355433

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