G Am G D
Am The January man, he goes G around
in woolen coat and boots of
Am leather. C The February man still shakes Am the snow C Am F from off his clothes and blows Am his hand.
The man of March he sees the Spring,
C and wonders what the year will G bring, and hopes for better Am weather.
Through April
rain the man goes down
G to watch the birds come in to Am share the summer. C The man of May stands very still Am C Am to watch the children dance away F Am the day. Am In June the man inside the man C is young and wants to lend a G hand, and smiles at each new Am comer. Am In July the man in cotton G shorts,
he sits and thinks and being
Am idle. C The August men in thousands take Am the road to find the sun and F Am watch the sea. Am September man is standing near C to saddle up another year, G and Autumn is his G Am bridle. Am The man of new October takes the G rain,
and early frost is on his
Am shoulder. C The poor November man sees fire Am and mist F and wind and rain and winter Am ere. Am December man looks through the snow C to let eleven brothers know, G they're all a little G Am older. Am The January man, he comes around G again
in coat and boots of
Am leather. C To take another turn and walk Am F along the icy road he knows so Am well. Am The January man is here, C the start of each and every G year, along the road G D forever.
