The Decemberists
Album: The King Is Dead
Song: "January Hymn"
D G A D
On a winter Sunday I go
G A D
To clear away the snow
G A D G A
And green the ground below
D G A D
April all an ocean away
G A D
Is this the better way to spend the day?
G A D G A
Keeping the winter at bay
G A D G
What were the words I meant to say before you left?
Bm G A A7
When I could see your breath lead where you were going to
D G A D
Maybe I should just let it be
G A D
and maybe it will all come back to me
G A D
Sing oh January oh!
How I lived a childhood in snow
And all my teens in tow
Stuffed in strata of glow
Hail the winter days after dark
Wandering the gray memorial park
A fleeting beating of hearts
What were the words I meant to say before she left?
When I could see her breath lead where she was going to
D G A D
Maybe I should just let it be
G A D
And maybe it will all come back to me
G A
Sing oh Janu...
G A D
Oh January oh
