IF WE MAKE IT THROUGH DECEMBER
Merle Haggard

                        Bb                                     F
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 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 cheer;
                        Bb                                     F
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 a warmer town come summer time;
      F7       Gm7
Maybe even California,
C7    Gm7               C7               F          Eb Bb F
If We Make It Through December, we'll be fine.
