If We Make It Through December ev'rything's gonna be alright I know; 
             F7          Gm7                        C7              F 
It's the coldest time of winter and I shiver when I see the falling snow; 
      F7                Bb 
If We Make It Through December, 
                                   F 
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time; 
      F7       Gm7 
Maybe even California, 
C7    Gm7               C7               F 
If We Make It Through December, we'll be fine; 
                           Gm7 
Got laid off down at the fact'ry 
C7        Gm7                 C7           F 
And their timing's not the greatest in the world; 
           F7       Gm7           C7          Gm7          C7                 F 
Heaven knows I been working hard, wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl; 
F7                     Bb 
I don't mean to hate December, 
                                   F 
It's meant to be the happy time of year; 
       F7                Gm7                              C7            F 
And my little girl don't understand why daddy can't afford no Christmas here; 
                        Bb                                     F
