[Intro] C  Dm  G  C  Bb  F  C

C                     F
If we make it through December
     Fm                          C  G  Am
Everything's gonna be alright, I know
                         Dm
It's the coldest time of winter
      G                             C  Bb  F
And I shiver when I see the falling snow

C                     F
If we make it through December
                     Fm                     C
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
 G  Am
               Dm
Maybe even California
      G                                  C
If we make it through December, we'll be fine

( Bb  F  C )

                    Dm
Got laid off at the factory
          G                                 C
And their timing is not the greatest in the world
                       Dm
Heaven knows I've been working hard
       G                         C
Wanted Christmas to be right for my girl

        C7           F
I don't mean to hate December
     Fm                            C
It's meant to be the happy time of year
                         Dm
And my little girl don't understand
G                                C
Why we can't afford no Christmas gear

( Bb  F  C )
