Long December Chords

   
This is an extension of a previously posted version of this song, I was just having a 
time keeping the chords straight in my head while singing the song and figured other 
might appreciate having it all filled in for you as well.


Standard Tuning
Capo 3rd Fret

intro: D G Em G D  G Em

G       D                  A            Em
A long December and there's reason to believe
      G                D               G
Maybe this year will be better than the last
  Em      G         D                   A
I can't remember the last thing that you said
            Em
as you were leavin'
        D             G
Now the days go by so fast

         D               G         Em    G
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         D                 G       Em    G
And it's one more night in Hollywood
       D                  G        Em -stop-           D
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would
  G   Em  G ....
nanananananananana..

G		      D			A
The smell of hospitals in winter
Em					G		       D			 G
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
Em	    G			 D			     A
All at once you look across a crowded room
		 Em			 D		         G
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

         D               G         Em    G
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         D               G         Em    G
And it's one more night in Hollywood
         D                  G        Em -stop-           D
If you think you might come to California...I think you should
  G   Em  G ....
nanananananananana..


G		  	  D			A			Em
Drove up to the Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
G			          D			G
And talked a little while about the year
Em		    G			        D		    	      A
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Em				        D
Makes you talk a little lower about
	G
the things you could not show her

		         G       D                  A            Em
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
      G                D               G
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Em      G        		D                    A
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
Em				D			G
To hold on to these moments as they pass

         D               G         Em    G
And it's been one more day up in the canyon
         D               G         Em    G
And it's one more night in Hollywood
         D                  G        Em -stop-           D
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should
  G   Em  G ....
nanananananananana.... (Repeat)
