[Intro]
That Amold brown house is haunted
Said the Fyoung boys in the road
Who threw Gstones through faceless windows
As the Amsky filled up with snow
I watched them from a taxi
And the Fdriver said of course
That Gone time late at night he'd seen
A Amyoung girl on the porch
And it Cmust have been a ghost he laughed
I Fshivered in the cold
And the Gsnowflakes fell like ancient tears
On FSouth DeGcember AmRoad
AmSomething in my heart remembered
FLong forgotten sins
As they Gecho through those empty rooms
And Amscatter in the wind
There's a branch that's barely hangin'
From a dyFing chestnut tree
And it Gsways before the window where
Your Ambedroom used to be
And I Cdrove the old man's Plymouth
Through the Ftired Midwestern snow
And you Gmet me on the corner down
On FSouth DeGcember AmRoad
[Interlude]
C    F    G    F  G  Am
Now that Amdrug store up on Main Street
Has that Fsign above the door
They've been Gsatisfying customers
Since Am1934
We drank cherry flavored cola's there
When Fwe were seventeen
But that Gsoda fountain's gone now
So I Ambought a magazine
And I Cwalked down toward the graveyard
As the Fwind began to blow
and I Gstumbled across the headstone
Nearly Fburied Gin the Amsnow
And your Cface filled up my memory
And a Fphantom filled my soul
Like the Gcracks that filled the sidewalk down
On FSouth DeGcember AmRoadF  G  Am

[Intro]

That old brown house is haunted

Said the young boys in the road

Who threw stones through faceless windows

As the sky filled up with snow

I watched them from a taxi

And the driver said of course

That one time late at night he'd seen

A young girl on the porch

And it must have been a ghost he laughed

I shivered in the cold

And the snowflakes fell like ancient tears

F G Am

On South December Road

Something in my heart remembered

Long forgotten sins

As they echo through those empty rooms

And scatter in the wind

There's a branch that's barely hangin'

From a dying chestnut tree

And it sways before the window where

Your bedroom used to be

And I drove the old man's Plymouth

Through the tired Midwestern snow

And you met me on the corner down

F G Am

On South December Road

[Interlude]

C F G F G Am

Now that drug store up on Main Street

Has that sign above the door

They've been satisfying customers

Since 1934

We drank cherry flavored cola's there

When we were seventeen

But that soda fountain's gone now

So I bought a magazine

And I walked down toward the graveyard

As the wind began to blow

and I stumbled across the headstone

F G Am

Nearly buried in the snow

And your face filled up my memory

And a phantom filled my soul

Like the cracks that filled the sidewalk down

F G Am F G Am
