Verse 1:
G    C    Am7               G
January, come and take me home
G              C
Take me to the prairie skies
       Am7              D
To the winters I don't know
C                  D
She'll be standing there
         G      D/F#    Em
With the golden in her hair
   Am7               D
Oh take me home to where I'm from
    G     C Am7 G
January

Verse 2:
G                       C
Gentle is the time I am with her,
     Am7          G
It's air into my lungs
G                         C
Noticing what I couldn't notice
        Am7               D
Singing songs I've never sung
C                D
I'll be standing there
          G  D/F#     Em
Wondering how I could care
    Am7            D
For anything the way I do,
    G     C Am7 G
January

Verse 3:
  D                 C
I miss the way she laughs
          G
When I cannot help but to say
   D          C
Exactly how I see her
       Am7              D
In the light of autumn days
        C            D
Now I'm missing everything
           G       D/F#       Em
So I'll be there before the spring
    Am7              D
I'm coming home to where I'm from
    G     C Am7 G
January

G C Am7 G

Verse 4:
G   C    Am7                G
January, though you cannot last
G                 C
Stay here in your glory till
    Am7                  D
The longest nights have passed
     C                 D
I'll still be standing there
         G         D/F#  Em
When the days rest unaware
       Am7                  D
Of the loveliness they've seen in
    G     C Am7 G
January

Verse 5:
G                          C
Steady is the love that is chosen
     Am7           G
It's quiet in its strength
G                          C
Not a signal we could have noticed
        Am7          D
Passing time in any length
   C                 D
So we'll be standing there
       G        D/F#   Em
In the honor it is to bear
    Am7            D
The old and in between of
    G     C Am7 G
January

Verse 6:
        D                C
There's something in her laugh
         G
When I cannot help but to say
  D           C
Exactly how I see her
       Am7       D
In the light of autumn days
          C            D
Cause I'm missing everything
           G        D/F#      Em
So I'll be there before the spring
    Am7              D
I'm coming home to where I'm from
    G     C Am7 G
January
