[Intro]
Em D C Em D C
[Verse]
G C G
The coming of the winter snow upon the highland hills
D Em C G
Hits the mind with sorrow blind and numbs the cutting chills
G Em C G
Our morning daze in youthful haze we'll never see again
D Em C D Em
And all the years we thought we had have left our hallowed glen
[Chorus]
C G
And if the sun comes down in December
Em C
And the snow lies over the green
C Em
I'll leave the last drop in my glass to remember
C G
The eyes of my highland queen
[Instrumental]
G C Em G C
[Verse]
G Em C G
That Christmas Day so long away when first I saw her eyes
D Em C G
Now every year she reappears in dark December skies
G Em C G
The moon it shone above the Ben as we kissed below the plough
D Em C D
The stars were singing as we lay upon the frosted ground
[Chorus]
C G
And if the sun comes down in December
Em C
And the snow lies over the green
C Em
I'll leave the last drop in my glass to remember
C G
The eyes of my highland queen
[Instrumental]
G C Em G C
[Verse]
G Em C G
But maybe we will meet again on the circle of the sea
D Em C G
And in this world or the next I'll feel her close to me
G Em C G
And the golden west horizon will be ours for just a while
D Em C D
When the snowflakes of our future will melt upon her smile
[Chorus]
C G
And if the sun comes down in December
Em C
And the snow lies over the green
C Em
I'll leave the last drop in my glass to remember

The eyes of my highland queen
[Chorus]
