Chords

In The Freezer by Joe Scruggs Chorded by Alaina Musich This is a cute song for kids, easily found on YouTube if you need melodic reference. It's not terribly well known, but I love teaching it to classrooms of K-5 - They think it's hilarious. Great for the family, sweet melody, fun to sing, and good for Winter into Spring music lessons. I am not a guitarist, but use guitar in the classroom for lack of a piano. The Bm may be omitted if you can't play the chord change very well, like me! ;) In the middle of each verse, you can choose to hold D, or alternate between D & C. Play around with it and find out what works best for you!
G
There was snow on the ground 

             Bm     Am
But it was a sunny day.

   D 
We knew that our snowman
Was bound to melt away.
G
So we asked our Mom

           C          Am
And though it did not please her,

C
She said we could keep

D
Our snowman in the freezer.
Chorus
G
He’s in the freezer, 

Am
He’s our snowman.

            D
He’s in the freezer,

                G
Getting a frost tan.

Em
He’s in the freezer,

                 Am
Keeps as cold as he can.

   D
He doesn’t go to school,
He just keeps cool,
G
In the freezer –

G
We feed him bits of frost

    C       Bm  Am
And lots of ice cubes.

D
We show him to our friends
When we come home from school.
G
We watch him as he sits

     C      Bm     Am
Next to the frozen squash,

     D
‘Til Dad shuts the door and says,

      G
“It’s starting to defrost.
Chorus
G
He’s in the freezer, 

Am
He’s our snowman.

            D
He’s in the freezer,

                G
Getting a frost tan.

Em
He’s in the freezer,

                 Am
Keeps as cold as he can.

   D
He doesn’t go to school,
He just keeps cool,
G
In the freezer –
One night at suppertime
   C        Bm     Am
My Mom said it was sad

D
As she told us of the ice cream
That we could have had. Our snowman was taking up
C       Bm      Am
All the room it seems,

               D
And she didn’t have a place

               G
To put our ice cream.
Final Chorus
G
He’s on the sidewalk

Am
And he’s melting fast.

           D
You know a snowman

                 G
Was not meant to last.

Em
It won’t be long now

            Am
Before he melts away

    G            D
And we’re having ice cream 

         G
For dessert today!
It’s in the freezer! It’s in the freezer!
