[INTRO:] Am

[VERSE 1:]
            Dm            G
The January man he walks abroad
           Em                Am
In woollen coat and boots of leather
             Dm                   Am
The February man still shakes the snow
             Am/G              E
From off his hat and blows his hands
    Am7             Asus2
The man of March he sees the Spring
    C       ~        G
And wonders what the year will bring
    F                Am
And hopes for better weather


[VERSE 2:]
                       Dm               G
Through April rain the man goes down to watch the birds 
     Em              Am
Come in to share the summer
                      Dm              Am
The man of May stands very still watching the children 
Am/G           E
Dance away the day
       Am7            Asus2
And in June the man inside the man
   C         ~        G
Is young and wants to lend a hand
    F                 Am
And smiles on each newcomer


[VERSE 3:]
                Dm            G
And in July the man in cotton shirt he sits 
    Em              Am
And thinks on being idle
                      Dm                 Am
And the August man in thousands take the road 
             Am/G             E
To watch the sea and find the sun
   Am7           Asus2
September man is standing near
   C      ~      G
To saddle up and leave year
    F             Am
And Autumn is his bridle


[VERSE 4:]
                     Dm              G
And the man of new October takes the reins
          Em              Am
And early frost is on his shoulder
                      Dm                Am
And the poor November man sees fire and mist
             Am/G            E
And wind and rain and winter air
      Am7              Asus2
And December man looks through the snow
   C    ~              G
To let eleven brothers know
        F            Am
They're all a little older


[VERSE 5:]
                Dm               G
And the January man comes round again
           Em                Am
In woollen coat and boots of leather
                Dm             Am
To take another turn and walk along 
        Am/G             E
The icy road he knows so well
    Am7         Asus2
And the January man is here
    C        ~        G
For starting each and every year
 F                Am
Along the road forever
