Verse
Gm                               D#                            Dm
Birds were falling from the sky all leaves had turned to brown
The heartless cold froze everything and took my poor red down 

Chorus
Gm                          D#                     Dm
Poor old red she's dead and gone her eyes I do remember
At least I have this old guitar to get me through December
        C
Through December 
        Gm
Through December 

Verse
Her eyes were dark as winter's night both somehow young and old
I loved her most the day she died her hair was coloured gold 

Chorus
Poor old red she's dead and gone her eyes I do remember
At least I have this old guitar to get me through December
Through December 
Through December 

Verse
Old man winter at my door the sky heavy with snow
All's cold but my heart poor red it's hard to let you go 

Chorus
Poor old red she's dead and gone her eyes I do remember
At least I have this old guitar to get me through December
Through December 
Through December
