If We Make It Through December
          Fm      C  Em Am
Every thing`s gonna be alright I know
     C        Dm   (1st Fill) G
It`s the coldest time of winter

Got plans to be a warmer town come summer time

Maybe even California

If We Make It Through December we`ll be fine


              Dm  G
Got laid off down at the factory
              G7       C   Em Am
And their timing`s not the greatest in the world
    G      Dm      G
Heaven knows I been working hard
     Dm       G         C   C7
I Wanted Christmas to be right for daddy`s girl
           F     Fmaj7
I don`t mean to hate December
           Fm      C   Em Am
It`s meant to be the happy time of year
    G        Dm     G
And my little girl don`t understand
  Dm      G7        C  Bb F C
why daddy can`t afford no Christmas here


           F    Fmaj7
If We Make It Through December
          Fm      C   Em Am
Every thing`s gonna be alright I know
     C        Dm
It`s the coldest time of winter
G   Dm      G7       C  Bb F C
And I shiver when I see the falling snOW
       C7   F    Fmaj7
If We Make It Through December

Got plans to be a warmer town come summer time
