verse 1
 Am           Asus2     Asus2/G
Deep in De - cember, the year has grown old,
    Fmaj7#11                       E7+                E
The days have grown dark, and the nights have turned cold,
         Am            Asus2       Asus2/G
And the hurts that we harbour, the debts that we owe,
    Fmaj7#11                E7+       E
Are sleeping down under a blanket of snow!

verse 2
     Am       Asus2       Asus2/G
It covers the grasses, the bench in the park,
    Fmaj7#11                 E7+             E
The scars in the earth where man's made his mark,
     Am        Asus2            Asus2/G
And high in the sky there's an unearthly glow,
      Fmaj7#11               E7+           E
Like a miracle sent to de - light us be - low!


verse 3
     F         C                G      C/G G
And all our cares seem imma - terial,
      F        C             G      C/G  G
Be - neath a light so e - thereal,
       F       C                     G     C/G  G *
As if all our wrongs could be made right,
       Dm7    Dm7/C    E7                 Am     Asus2
Oh--------,  darling, under the Northern Lights---------!

verse 4
    Am              Asus2           Asus2/G
We wound, and we're wounded, by the tiniest acts,
   Fmaj7#11                     E7+        E
We run from our ghosts, and we cover our tracks,
       Am         Asus2        Asus2/G
And we try to make up for mis - takes that we've made,
     Fmaj7#11                      E7+          E
With presents, and parties, and Christmas pa - rades!

Verse 5
         Am          Asus2        Asus2/G
But I'm tired of the running, I'm taking my leave,
       Fmaj7#11                      E7+            E
And the fire's burning low, on this cold Christmas Eve,
Am         Asus2        Asus2/G
All that I have is this evening to spend,
   Fmaj7#11                E7+          E
And all that I want is to hold you a - gain!


Verse 6
     F        C               G       C/G G
To linger a while ...in the mystery,
     F        C                  G       C/G G
To know the gift that has been given me,
         F        C                       G        C/G G *
Just to lie be - side you, this Christmas--- night,
       Dm7    Dm7/C    E7                 Am     Asus2
Oh--------,  darling, under the Northern Lights---------!
