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