verse 1 
 Am           Asus2     Asus2/G 
Deep in De - cember, the year has grown old, 
    Fmaj7#11                       E7+                E 
The days have grown dark, and the nights have turned cold, 
         Am            Asus2       Asus2/G 
And the hurts that we harbour, the debts that we owe, 
    Fmaj7#11                E7+       E 
Are sleeping down under a blanket of snow!

verse 2 
     Am       Asus2       Asus2/G 
It covers the grasses, the bench in the park, 
    Fmaj7#11                 E7+             E 
The scars in the earth where man's made his mark, 
     Am        Asus2            Asus2/G 
And high in the sky there's an unearthly glow, 
      Fmaj7#11               E7+           E 
Like a miracle sent to de - light us be - low! 


verse 3 
     F         C                G      C/G G 
And all our cares seem imma - terial,

Be - neath a light so e - thereal, 
       F       C                     G     C/G  G * 
As if all our wrongs could be made right, 
       Dm7    Dm7/C    E7                 Am     Asus2 
Oh--------,  darling, under the Northern Lights---------!

verse 4 
    Am              Asus2           Asus2/G 
We wound, and we're wounded, by the tiniest acts, 
   Fmaj7#11                     E7+        E 
We run from our ghosts, and we cover our tracks, 
       Am         Asus2        Asus2/G 
And we try to make up for mis - takes that we've made, 
     Fmaj7#11                      E7+          E 
With presents, and parties, and Christmas pa - rades!

Verse 5 
         Am          Asus2        Asus2/G 
But I'm tired of the running, I’m taking my leave, 
       Fmaj7#11                      E7+            E 
And the fire's burning low, on this cold Christmas Eve, 
Am         Asus2        Asus2/G 
All that I have is this evening to spend, 
   Fmaj7#11                E7+          E 
And all that I want is to hold you a - gain! 


Verse 6 
     F        C               G       C/G G 
To linger a while ...in the mystery, 
     F        C                  G       C/G G 
To know the gift that has been given me, 
         F        C                       G        C/G G * 
Just to lie be - side you, this Christmas--- night,

Oh--------,  darling, under the Northern Lights---------!
