Intro Am 
  
 
[Verso 1]

Am      E     A7      D 
Dancing bears painted wings 
Dm         Am     Dm  E 
Things I almost remember 
Am    E    A7      D 
And a song someone sings 
Dm    Am      E  Am 
Once upon a December 
  

[Refrão]

Dm                Am 
Someone holds me safe and warm 
E                       Am 
Horses prance through a silver storm 
Dm               Am 
Figures dancing gracefully 
B7            E 
Across my memory 
  
 
[Verso 2]

Am   E    A7    D 
Far away long ago 
Dm       Am       Dm  E 
Glowing dim as an ember 
Am        E      A7      D 
Things my heart used to know 
Dm     Am      E  Am 
Once upon a December

Dm               Am 
Figures dancing gracefully 
B7        E 
Across my memory

Glowing dim as an ember 
Am        E     A7      D 
Things my heart used to know

Things it yearns to remember 
Am     E       A7    D 
And a song, someone sings 
Dm     Am    E     Am 
Once upon a December
