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
