G A C
EmFairground Glights fCills the night
EmWinter cGuts throCugh my skin
EmBroken Gglass, uCnderpass
GLeads my Away home Cagain
EmDown the Gpath, cChildren laugh
EmSo alive 'Gneath thCe sky
EmMemory fGades froCm me
GAnd I am wAondering Cwhy
GOh young Jane, Cthings never change
We're still Emwalking the saGme streets we Cgrew up on
GBut your eyes Cmust realise
That a lEmove wasted oGnce is fCorever gone
Like rain in december
Same for next verse and chorus:
Sweet dauphine (I think thats what he says) where've you been
I am thinking of you
Make my fear disappear
Turn my grey morning blue
But know this, by your soft kiss
Must be true as the land
For it seems, all my dreams
lie within your command
Oh young Jane, things never change
We're still walking the same streets we grew up on
But your eyes must realise
That a love wasted once is forever gone
Like rain in December
Bridge: (C going in to it)
EmI will Csuffer the sGilence in eaDch hour and day
EmI will Csuffer the hGardships thaDt keep you away
EmI will Csuffer the rGoad that leaDds me to your dCoor
Till I suffer no more
 Em   G   Cx 2 and finish.
I think its all correct, the A in the verse might be off and possibly the D in
the bridge but they sound right to me. Comments welcome.
