• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:
E MajorE
December is the cruelest month
E MajorE
But this time for once my cheeks are warm
B minorBm
After long years in the monkey-house
B minorBm           E MajorE
I am ready for the storm


E MajorE
Let them throw all their cannonballs
E MajorE
Let all their strongmen come
    B minorBm
I'm ready to go anywhere
B minorBm           E MajorE
Through venom, sick and scum!

Verse 2:
E MajorE
December isn't always cold
E MajorE
But this year she's mine and I know why
B minorBm
Somewhere a flower has to grow
B minorBm           E MajorE
For every flower that dies
E MajorE
I'm stricken with fever
E MajorE
But my heart is strong as steel
B minorBm
I'm ready to go anywhere!
B minorBm           E MajorE
I can believe
I can feel!

Verse 3:
E MajorE
December is a trusted friend
E MajorE
I always recognise her face
B minorBm
It's a plague of fools thrown aside
B minorBm               E MajorE
Forever by her soft and silent grace
E MajorE
She is reckless as a mayday
E MajorE
Gentle as a stone
B minorBm
And ready to go anywhere
B minorBm           E MajorE
To carry me back home!

Verse 4:
E MajorE
December fell deep in the bleak
E MajorE
Mid-winter time when jesus christ
B minorBm
Howled a baby saviour's howl
B minorBm           E MajorE
A augmentedA primal truth as pure as ice
E MajorE
And though we crucified him on a cross
E MajorE
And dragged his name from prayer to curse
B minorBm
He was able to go anywhere
B minorBm           E MajorE
He was almost one of us!
