[Verso 1]
 
G    C    Em               D 
January, come and take me home 
G              C 
Take me to the prairie skies 
       Em              D 
To the winters I don't know 
C                  D 
She'll be standing there 
         G      D      Em 
With the golden in her hair 
   C               D 
Oh take me home to where I'm from 
    G     C Em D 
January 


[Verso 2]
 
G                       C 
Gentle is the time I am with her, 
     Em          D 
It's air into my lungs 
G                         C 
Noticing what I couldn't notice 
        Em               D 
Singing songs I've never sung 
C                D 
I'll be standing there 
          G  D       Em 
Wondering if I could care 
    C            D 
For anything the way I do, 
    G     C Em D 
January 


[Verso 3]

  D                 C 
I miss the way she laughs 
          G 
When I cannot help but to say 
   D          C 
Exactly how I see her 
       Em              D 
In the light of autumn days 
        D            C 
Now I'm missing everything 
           G       D        Em 
So I'll be there before the spring 
    C              D 
I'm coming home to where I'm from 
    G     C Em D 
January

[Verso 4]

G   C    Em                D 
January, though you cannot last 
G                 C 
Stay here in your glory till 
    Em                  D 
The longest nights have passed 
     C                 D 
I'll still be standing there 
         G         D     Em 
When the days rest unaware 
       C                  D 
Of the loveliness they've seen in 
    G     C Em D 
January 



[Verso 5]
 
G                          C 
Steady is the love that is chosen 
     Em           D 
It's quiet in its strength 
G                          C 
Not a signal we could have noticed 
        Em          D 
Passing time in any length 
   C                 D 
So we'll be standing there 
       G        D     Em 
In the honor it is to bear 
    C            D 
The old and in between of 
    G     C Em D 
January 


[Verso 6]
 
        D                C 
There's something in her laugh 
         G 
When I cannot help but to say 
  D           C 
Exactly how I see her 
       Em       D 
In the light of autumn days 
          C            D 
Cause I'm missing everything 
           G        D       Em 
So I'll be there before the spring 
    C              D 
I'm coming home to where I'm from 
    G     C Em D
