Okay everyone, I devised a little scheme to make this song a little
easier to play. This is what you do:
Drop the song a half step without tuning you're guitar different.
The chords of the song, F Bb Gm C
become the chords E A F#m and B
Now put a capo on the first fret and play it in the dropped key.
This eliminates two bar chords and adds one, but makes for a lot less
moving around with bars. Overall it just makes it a little easier on the
wrists. The goes as follows.
Capo 1st fret
Intro: E A F#m A E A F#m

A Long December is one of my favorite songs ever and I find this playing of
the song sounds fuller and more like the album version.
I've included a few tab riffs which include certain melody and lead parts to
give a more satisfying sound which resembles the album version of the song.
Tuning- A full step down or D Tuning
This riff is played at various parts after certain C chords which I

This is an extension of a previously posted version of this song, I was just having a
time keeping the chords straight in my head while singing the song and figured other
might appreciate having it all filled in for you as well.
