'Twas the first day of springtime,
Gm Ab Bb
And the snowman stood alone
Fm Ab Bb
As the winter snows were melting,
Gm C
And the pine trees seemed to groan,
Eb F
'Ah, you poor sad smiling snowman,
Eb F
You'll be melting by and by.'
Eb Bb/D Cm
Said the snowman, 'What a pity,
Bb F/A
For I'd like to see July.
Bb G/B Cm Bb Ab
Yes, I'd like to see July, and please don't ask me why.
Eb Bb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
But I'd like to, yes I'd like to, oh I'd like to see
Ab Eb Ab Gm
July.'
Fm Ab Bb
Chirped a robin, just arriving,
Gm Ab Bb
'Seasons come and seasons go,
Fm Ab Bb
And the greatest ice must crumble
Gm Csus C
When it's flowers' time to grow.
Eb F
And as one thing is beginning
Eb F
So another thing must die,
Eb Bb/D Cm
And there's never been a snowman
Bb F/A
Who has ever seen July,
Bb G/B Cm Bb Ab
No, they never see July, no matter how they try.
Eb Bb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
No, they never ever, never ever, never see
Ab Eb Ab Gm
July.'
Fm Ab Bb
But the snowman sniffed his carrot nose
Gm Ab Bb
And said, 'At least I'll try,'
Fm Ab Bb
And he bravely smiled his frosty smile
Gm Csus C Bb/D
And blinked his coal-black eye.
Eb F
And there he stood and faced the sun
Eb F
A blazin' from the sky—
Eb Bb/D Cm
And I really cannot tell you
Bb F/A
If he ever saw July.
Bb G/B Cm Bb Ab
Did he ever see July? You can guess as well as I
Eb Bb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
If he ever, if he never, if he ever saw
Ab Eb Ab Eb
July.'
