C G D   C G D   C G D   C D

[Verse 1]

C                         G    D     C            G       D
They say that spring will come again No one knows exactly when.
C                Em                      C                    D
Still the suns a long lost friend On the longest night of the year.
C                 G   D     C              G        D
We stare into the firelight While December beats outside
C                 Em                   C                    D
Where the darkest hearts reside On the longest night of the year

[Chorus]

C                   G       D     Am             Em       D
So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night
C                G        D            C                    D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was longest night of the year

[Verse 2]

C                   G         D     C                  G      D
I used to think the world was small Bright and shining like a ball
C                  Em                 C                    D
Seems I don’t know much at all On the longest night of the year
C                  G      D     C                   G       D
We press our faces to the glass And see our little lives go past
C               Em                  C                    D
Wave to shadows that we cast On the longest night of the year

[Chorus]

C                   G       D     Am             Em       D
So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night
C                G        D            C                    D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was longest night of the year

[Verse 3]

C               G        D      C                     G   D
Make a vow when Solstice comes: To find the Light in everyone
C                  Em                   C                    D
Keep the faith and bang the drum On the longest night of the year

[Chorus]

C                   G       D     Am             Em       D
So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night
C                G        D            C                    D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was longest night of the year
C                   G       D     Am             Em       D
So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night
C                G        D            C                    D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was longest night of the year
