[Verse 1]
Am                Dm
Come my dear I'll tell a tale
        C       E      Am
Through the winters frosty gale
         G     F          E
When the bells refused to ring
Dm      C      E        Am
And the angels wouldn't sing
          G      D       E
Somewhere in the dark of night
C            G       C
Was a single shining light
            E                    Am
Still I can remember, once upon December
        G         F      E
Come my dear I'll tell a tale
D           E              Am
Through the winters frosty gale

[Verse 2]
Am               Dm
Come my dear and listen close
               C    E            Am
While the wind cries like a ghost
            G      F      E
Though the ice and silver snow
Dm     C      E       Am
As the frozen breezes blow
        G    D        E
Look up high into the night
C                G       C
When the moon is shining bright
            E                    Am
Still I can remember once upon December
        G        F      E
Come my dear and listen close
D         E                 Am
While the wind cries like a ghost
