Barbara Dickson - The January Man
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to G ##
[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
