Ab  Eb  Ab Gm 

Verse 1:

Fm                     Ab    Bb 
'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." 

Verse 2:

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." 

Verse 3:

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."
