Standard (EADGBE)

Lay your body down upon the midnight snow

Feel the cold of winter in your hair

Here in a world of your own, in a casing that's grown

To the children's delight, that arrived on the night

Here they come to play their magic games

Carving names upon your frozen hand

Here in a world of your own, like a sleeper whose eyes

Sees the pain with surprise, as it smothers your cries

They'll never, never know

Hey, there's a snowman, hey, hey what a snowman

Pray for the snowman, ooh, ooh, what a snowman

They say a snow year's a good year

Filled with the love of all who lie so deep

Smiling faces tear your body to the ground

Covered red that only we can see

Here in a ball that they made, from the snow on the ground

See it rolling away, with wild eyes to the sky

They'll never, never know

Hey, there's a snowman, hey, what a snowman

Pray for the snowman, ooh, ooh, what a snowman

They say a snow year's a good year

Filled with the love of all who lie so deep

Hey, there goes the snowman, hey, there what a snowman

Hey, there lies the snowman, hey, he was a snowman

They say a snow year's a good year

Filled with the love of all who lie so deep Repeat chorus and fade
