_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [C]
My first recollection [E] of a day in December _ _
_ [C] _ Like I still managed [E] to recognize
Like _ _ [C] _ something came to haunt the [E] morning and the morning
_ _ [C] Nothing was ever gonna beat that [E] beastly bell
I _
_ [C] _ sat and watched the woodpiles [E] grow through the summer
_ _ [C] Now I sit and smell that sun come close [E] to the coast
_ _ _ [A] _ [C] _
Winter's coming on [E] these Indian dreary _
And [C] I'm thinking it's the season I [E] need to grow
_ _ I [F] heard a man named Christ just goes back on what [E] he knows best
_ _ [Em] I [F] murdered and murdered my feet [E] to set _ _
[F] And I don't want you to think this is some kind of [E] deathbed confession
But _ _ [F] _ run is what I did and [E] persisted
My _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ [C] _ first recollection is a day [E] in November
Seven _ [C] _ _
forty-seven tracing [E] lines through the sky _
_ [C] _ Like some old gypsy curse [E] suddenly praying
The [C] palm trees and the low-suit chalice sing a warmth as I [E] pass by
I _ _ [A] _ [C]
sat and watched my troubles pile through [E] the summer _ _
[C] Now I'm sitting here in my youngest [E] child down the hall
_ _ [C] _ Winter's coming on [E] these Indian dreary
