Intro:  Am - G - D - Am - E - Am  
 
 Am 
Dancing bears, 
 G
Painted wings 
 D        Am     E
Things I almost remember 
 Am        G
And a song someone sings 
 D      Am   E   Am
Once upon a December 
 
 Dm               Am
Someone holds me safe and warm 
 Dm                     Am
Horses prance through a silver storm 
 Dm            Am
Figures dancing gracefully 
 D         Em
Across my memory... 
 
 Am        G
Far away, long ago 
 D       Am        E
Glowing dim as an ember, 
 Am              G
Things my heart used to know, 
 D    Am     E    Am
Once upon a December 
 
 Dm               Am
Someone holds me safe and warm 
 Dm                   Am
Horses prance through a silver storm 
 Dm              Am
Figures dancing gracefully 
 D        Em
Across my memory... 
 
 Am        G
Far away, long ago 
 D       Am        E
Glowing dim as an ember, 
 Am              G
Things my heart used to know 
 D         Am        E   Am
Things it yearns to remember... 
 
 Dm                Am
And a song someone sings 
 D    Am     E   Am
Once upon a December
