December
[Verse 1]
E
December is the cruelest month
E
But this time for once my cheeks are warm
Bm
After long years in the monkey-house
BmE
I am ready for the storm
E
Let them throw all their cannonballs
E
Let all their strongmen come
Bm
I'm ready to go anywhere
BmE
Through venom, sick and scum!
[Verse 2]
E
December isn't always cold
E
But this year she's mine and I know why
Bm
Somewhere a flower has to grow
BmE
For every flower that dies
E
I'm stricken with fever
E
But my heart is strong as steel
Bm
I'm ready to go anywhere!
BmE
I can believe, I can feel!
[Verse 3]
E
December is a trusted friend
E
I always recognise her face
Bm
It's a plague of fools thrown aside
BmE
Forever by her soft and silent grace
E
She is reckless as a mayday
E
Gentle as a stone
Bm
And ready to go anywhere
BmE
To carry me back home!
[Verse 4]
E
December fell deep in the bleak
E
Mid-winter time when jesus christ
Bm
Howled a baby saviour's howl
BmE
A primal truth as pure as ice
E
And though we crucified him on a cross
E
And dragged his name from prayer to curse
Bm
He was able to go anywhere
BmE
He was almost one of us!
