DmDm        FF           A#A#
Mermaid sits on a side wash rock in the harbor
       C majorC
Watching the children play
  DmDm     FF
And every day, sun or rain,
A#A#          C majorC
Old Man kneels to the earth to pray
    DmDm
For the rain and stars
    FF
And the cars at the heart
A#A#           C majorC
The dark, and windy, Vancouver
(break)       FF
A augmentedA black day in December


A augmentedA                A\G
  She sees the worst is yet to come, yeah
 FF      E MajorE     DmDm
A augmentedA big wave on the horizon
F/AF/A            A\G
  The first wind blowing in
   FF        E MajorE         DmDm
Left Stanley soldiers felled and broken
      FF  C majorC
And we went oh, oh?


DmDm            FF
And Old Man kneels to the earth
        A#A#
In his mother's garden
       C majorC
Where his own father was laid
  DmDm     FF
And every day, sun or rain
A#A#         C majorC
Mermaid sits on her rock and she prays
    DmDm
For the salmon in the sea
    FF
For the winged in the trees
    A#A#
For the Old Man on his knees
        DmDm
Oh and for the beauty in the park
    FF
And the cars at the heart
    A#A#
Her own sisters and her brothers
    C majorC
And ten thousand friends and lovers
(break)      FF
Black day in December
A#A# C majorC          FF A#A#
  A augmentedA black day in December


DmDm        FF           A#A#
Mermaid sits on a tide wash rock in the harbor
        C majorC
Where the blue heron would lay
  DmDm     FF
And every day, sun or rain,
A#A#           C majorC
Old friends fall to the earth and decay
     DmDm
With the city by the sea
   FF
Sweet brine in the breeze
     A#A#
With the mountains watching over
    C majorC
Her Vancouver


(break)      FF
Black day in December
A#A#           FF
  A augmentedA black day in December
C majorC C#(high)     FF
  Black day in December
A#A#           FF
  A augmentedA black day in December
 C majorC  C#C# Dm(high)
