;;If We Make it Through December - Merle Haggard

							[C - ][G - ][D]
If we [D7]make it through De[G]cember
[G]Everything’s gonna [Gm]be alright, I [D]know
[Bm]It’s the coldest time of [Em]winter
[A]And I shiver when I see the falling [D]snow[C - ][G - ][D]

If we [D7]make it through De[G]cember
Got [G]plans to be in a [Gm]warmer town come [D]summer time
[Bm]Maybe even Cali[Em]fornia
If we [A]make it through December, we’ll be [D]fine[C - ][G - ][D]

I got [D]laid of down at the [Em]factory
And their [A]timing ain’t the greatest in the [D]world
[Bm]Heaven know that I’ve been [Em]working hard
[A]I wanted Christmas to be right for Daddy’s [D]girl[D7]

I don’t [D7]mean to hate De[G]cember
It’s [G]meant to be the happy time of [D]year
[Bm]But my little girl don’t [Em]understand
Why [A]Daddy can’t afford no Christmas [D]here[C - ][G - ][D]
