Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

December came faster than most

  [G/f#]

And before we knew it, it was cold

And you turned to me

As if to say that we should not have come this way

  [G/f#]

You didn't ask a question, so I had no reply

And we came upon a congregation

  [G/f#]

And we turned our faces to the constellation

 Singing we are both believers now

But still there was no voice in the clouds

  [G/f#]

You see, the stars are not our conscience

 They are just another light in our eyes

 In our eyes

 They are just another light keeping us blind

Long time I have left Umeah

[G/f#]

Long time travelled in your company

But I see the road before us is split

And I know that I should follow it

[G/f#]

But I know that I will find you

 When the morning spreads it's breath across the night

Find you

 In the morning at the end of my life

December's roads are long and they're tough

  [G/f#]

And sometimes I get really tired and stuck

But I keep the thought that when I die

 They will carry me and lay me by your side

 They will carry me and lay me by your side

 And there amongst the dirt

 At last our roads again will merge
