January Man - Christy Moore

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