Black Day In December Chords & Tabs
Black Day In December Chords
I noticed a lot of mistakes in my first tab for this song so
I thought I'd give it another go.
I listed all the chords fingerings I use at the bottom of the
page; I use (alt) and (high) to indicate when I play the chord in
a different position (Once again, see the bottom of the page).
Fantastic Song, have fun playing it!

Dm F A#m
Mermaid sits on a Siwash Rock in the harbor
C
Watching the children play
Dm F
And every day, sun or rain,
A#m C
Old Man kneels to the earth to pray
Dm
For the rain and stars
F
And the cars at the heart
A#m C
The dark, and windy, Vancouver
(break) F
A black day in December
F/Am Am\G
She sees the worst is yet to come, yeah
A#(alt) A(alt) Dm
A big wave on the horizon
F/Am Am\G
The first wind blowing in
A#(alt) A(alt) Dm
Left Stanley soldiers felled and broken
A#m(alt) C
And we went oh, oh?
Dm F
And Old Man kneels to the earth
A#m
In his mother's garden
C
Where his own father was laid
Dm F
And every day, sun or rain
A#m C
Mermaid sits on her rock and she prays
Dm
For the salmon in the sea
F
For the winged in the trees
A#m
For the Old Man on his knees
Dm
Oh and for the beauty in the park
F
And the cars at the heart
A#m
Her own sisters and her brothers
C
And ten thousand friends and lovers
(break) F
Black day in December
F/A#m C F F/A#m C
A black day in December

Dm F A#m
Mermaid sits on a tide wash rock in the harbor
C
Where the blue heron would lay
Dm F
And every day, sun or rain,
A#m C
Old friends fall to the earth and decay

With the city by the sea
F
Sweet brine in the breeze
A#m
With the mountains watching over
C
Her Vancouver
