December Days
Another ‘traditional’ song that appeared out of nowhere… winter may have been approaching but as I was in Gujarat I can’t say it was on my mind… I imagine this being sung by a drunken crowd in a 60s folk club – or maybe by a bunch of peasants in a barn a century earlier…
RAK 07 December Days
(Steve Franks & Connie Gilham harmonies)
D
December days, boys, winter is here
A
The sun is low though the sky is clear
Bm F#m G
There may be snow, boys, there may be rain
D A D
But we’ll keep our cheer ‘til spring comes again
Though nights be cold, boys, nights be long
We’ll keep the beat of our inner song
Through mighty storms, boys, through howling gales
We know the cycle will never fail
Bm
Though we may weary, we may tire
F#m A
We’ll draw our strength from our inner fire
Bm F#m G
It’s all recurrence, though ne’er the same
D A D
The seasons roll their eternal game
Though nights be long, boys, nights be dark
Each generation will seize the spark
Though some will fall, boys, whilst some remain
Our sons and daughters will fan the flame
Instrumental verse
Repeat break
December days, boys, winter is here
The sun is low though the sky is clear
There may be snow, boys, there may be rain
But we’ll keep our cheer ‘til spring comes again
