_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [N] We have a super guest with us, Susie Boggess.
Oh yeah.
Thank you all.
_ [Bb] _ Well, actually, I'm going to do a Merle Haggard song.
So _ _ this is one of my favorite ones.
My dad was a shop worker, international harvester, and he carpooled with a bunch of guys up to
work every day and they loved to listen to country music.
And so that's how I got [Eb] _ _ [F] my _ _ _ love for Merle is from my dad and being a little kid and
hearing those stories about _ grown up life.
And I was like, I don't want to grow up.
_ _ But this one really rings true because every once in a while there would be a strike or
something during the time that Christmas would come.
And this one really hits home [Bb] for me because I just feel like Merle just nailed the feeling
of that _ sort of _ hopelessness of wanting to make better for your family, but you can't. _

_ _ _ If we make it through [Eb]
December, [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ everything's gonna be all [Bb] right.
I know [F] _ _ [Gm] _
it's the coldest time [Cm] of winter _ _ [F] _
and I shiver when I see that falling [Bb] snow. _
_ _ _ If we make it [Eb] through December, [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ got plans [Ebm] to be in a warmer [Bb] town come summertime, [F] _ _ [Gm] _
maybe even [Cm] California.
_ _ _ [F] _
If we make it through December, we'll [Bb] be fine.
[C] _ _ [Bb] _ I got laid off [Cm] down at the factory and [C] _ _ [F] their timing's not the greatest in the world. _ _ _
[Bb] Heaven knows you've [Cm] been working hard.
[F] _
Wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girls.
_ _ [Bb] Well I don't mean to [Eb] hate December.
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ It's [F] meant [Ebm] to be the happy time [Bb] of year, _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _
but our little [Cm] girl don't understand _ [F] why mom and
daddy can't afford [Bb] no Christmas here.
_ _ _ If we make it [Eb] through December, [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ everything's gonna be all [Bb] right.
I know _ [F] it's [Gm] _
the coldest time [Cm] of winter _ _ [F] _
and I shiver when I see that [Bb] falling snow.
_ _ _ If we make it through [Eb]
December, [C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ got plans to [Ebm] be in a warmer [Bb] town come [F] summertime, _ _ [Gm] _
maybe even [Cm] California.
