|C |Dm |Dm |G |G |C |Bb F |C |


                        F6     F
If we make it through December
                   Fm            C  C/B  Am
Everything's gonna be alright I know
         Am/G             Dm   G
It's the coldest time of winter
        Dm           G               C   Bb F C
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
                       F6     F
If we make it through December
                             Fm               C   C/B  Am
Got plans to be a in warmer town come summer time
      Am/G      Dm   G
Maybe even California
       Dm                G               C   Bb F C
If we make it through December we'll be fine


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


                        F6     F
If we make it through December
                   Fm            C  C/B  Am
Everything's gonna be alright I know
         Am/G             Dm   G
It's the coldest time of winter
        Dm           G               C   Bb F C
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
                       F6      F
If we make it through December
                             Fm               C   C/B  Am
Got plans to be a in warmer town come summer time
      Am/G      Dm   G
Maybe even California
       Dm                G               C   Bb F C
If we make it through December we'll be fine
