Verse 1:
C5           F5  G5        C5    F5      G5       C5     
On a winter Sunday I go   to clear away the snow
    F5         G5      C5      F5  G5
And green the ground below
C5             F5  G5       C5
April, holler or shutter way
   F5               G5                C5    F5           G5         C5    F5  G5
Is this the better way to spend the day, keeping the winter at bay?


Chorus 1:
F5              G5                C5              F5
Where were the words I meant to say before you left
F5                     C5                             G5
When I could see your breathe lead where you were going to
C5              F5    G5      C5
Maybe I should just let it be
   F5             G5                C5
Or maybe it will all come back to me
       F5      G5     C5
Sing, "Oh, January, oh"


Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
How I lived a childhood in snow, and all my teams in tow
Stuffed in strata of clothes
Hail the winter days after dark
Wandering the great memorial park, a fleeting beating of hearts

Where were the words I meant to say before she left
When I could see your breathe lead where she was going to
Maybe I should just let it be
And maybe it will all come back to me
       F5      G5   F5      G5     C5   
Sing, "Oh, Janu-, oh, January, oh"
