To learn Counting Crows - A Long December chords with lyrics, these are the chords to practise in sequence: C, Gm, F, Bb, F, Bb, Gm, Bb. A strategic approach would be to train at 35 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's natural tempo of 71. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: F.

F long December and
C there's reason to

Gm I can't remember
Bb F the last thing that you
C said as you were
Gm leaving.
Well the
F days go by
Bb so fast and it's
F one more day
Bb up in the canyon
Gm _ and it's
F one more night
Bb in Hollywood.

Bb The smell
F of hospitals in
C winter and
Gm the feeling that
Bb it's all a lot of
F oysters but
Bb no pearls.

Gm Now all

Bb Drove up
F to Hillside
C Manor sometime after
Gm 2am
Bb and talked a little
F while about
Bb the year.
_ _ _ .
Gm I
Bb guess the winter makes you
F laugh a little
C slower, makes you
Gm talk a little
F lower about the
Bb things you could not show her.
And it's been a long
F December and
C there's reason to
Gm believe that maybe
Bb this year will
F be better than
Bb the last.

Gm I can't
Bb remember all the
F times I tried to
C tell myself to
Gm hold on to
F these moments as
Bb they pass.

_ _ And
F it's one more day
Bb up in the
Gm canyons and
F it's one more night
Bb in Hollywood.

F And for so long since
Bb I've seen the
Gm ocean I guess
F I should.
