REPEAT THE ABOVE FOR INTRO AND VERSES!!
On a winter's sunday I go,
To clear away the snow,
To green the ground below,
April all an ocean away,
Is the better way to spend the day,
Keeping the winter at bay,

INTRO/VERSE PROGRESSION
Maybe I should I just let it be,
Maybe it will all come back to me,
[F]Sing Oh [G]january, Oh (back to INTRO/VERSE)
How i lived a childhood in snow,
and all my teens in tow,
stuffed in a strata of clothes,
Hail the winter days after dark,
Wandering the gray memorial park,
A fleeting beating heart,
[F]What were the [G]words I mean to [C]say before you [F]left?
[F]When [Am]I could see your [F]breath lead where you were [G]going to

INTRO/VERSE:
Maybe I should just let it be,.
and maybe it will all come back to me,
[F]Sing all J[G]anuuu..[F]All Jan[G]uary Oh

Little drunk while doing this, but you should get the idea.
