If We Make It Through December
                    Fm           C    Em Am
Every thing`s gonna be alright I know
         C               Dm     (1st Fill)  G
It`s the coldest time of winter
      Dm          G            G7   C    Bb F C
and I shiver when I see the falling snow

Got plans to be a warmer town come summer time

If We Make It Through December we`ll be fine


                           Dm    G
Got laid off down at the factory
                           G7             C      Em Am
And their timing`s not the greatest in the world
       G            Dm            G
Heaven knows I been working hard
         Dm              G                 C     C7
I Wanted Christmas to be right for daddy`s girl
                     F         Fmaj7
I don`t mean to hate December
                     Fm            C     Em Am
It`s meant to be the happy time of year
        G                Dm          G
And my little girl don`t understand
    Dm            G7                C    Bb F C
why daddy can`t afford no Christmas here
