A Long December

[D] [G] [Em] [G] [D] [G] [Em]

 

[G]A long De[D]cember and there's [A]reason to be[Em]lieve

Maybe [G]this year will be[D] better than the [G]last

[Em] I can't re[G]member the [D]last thing that you [A]said

as you were [Em]leavin'

Now the [D]days go by so[G] fast

 

And it's [D]one more day up[G] in the canyons[Em] [G]

And it's [D]one more night in [G]Hollywood [Em]

If you [D]think that I could [G]be forgiven..[Em].I wish you [D]would

nana[G]nana[Em]nana[G]nana[D]nana[G].. [Em]yeah [Em]

 

[G]The smell of [D]hospitals in [A]winter

And the [Em]feeling that it's [G]all a lot of [D]oysters, but no [G]pearls

[Em] All at [G]once you look ac[D]ross a crowded [A]room

To see the [Em]way that light at[D]taches to a [G]girl

 

And it's [D]one more day up[G] in the canyons[Em] [G]

And it's [D]one more night in [G]Hollywood [Em]

If you [D]think you might come to [G]California...[Em]I think you [D]should

nana[G]nana[Em]nana[G]nana[D]nana[G].. [Em]yeah [Em]

 

[D] [G] [Em] [G] [D] [G] [Em]

 

[G]Drove up to the [D]Hillside Manor [A]sometime after two [Em]a.m.

And [G]talked a little [D]while about the [G]year

[Em]I guess the [G]winter makes you [D]laugh a little [A]slower

Makes you [Em]talk a little [D]lower about

the [G]things you could not show her

 

And it's been a [G]long De[D]cember and there's [A]reason to [Em]believe

Maybe [G]this year will be [D]better than the [G]last

[Em] I can't re[G]member all the [D]times I tried to [A]tell myself

To hold [Em]on to these [D]moments as they [G]pass

 

And it's been [D]one more day up[G] in the canyon[Em] [G]

And it's [D]one more night in [G]Hollywood [Em]

It's been [D]so long since I've [G]seen the ocean...[Em]I guess I [D]should

nana[G]nana[Em]nana[G]nana[D]nana[G].. [Em]yeah [Em] [D]

nana[G]nana[Em]nana[G]nana[D]nana[G].. [Em]yeah
