The January Man lyrics and guitar chords 

For Christy Moore, Written BY Dave Goulder.

[Am]The January[C] man he [G]walks the road 
In woollen[Am] coat and boots of leather 
The [C]February man still[Am] shakes the [G]snow 
From off his[Am] hair and blows his hands 
The man of [C]March he sees the Spring and 
Wonders what [G]the year will bring 
And hopes for[Am] better weather
 
Through April rains the man comes down 
To watch the birds come in to share the summer 
The man of May stands very still 
Watching the children dance away the day 
In June the man inside the man is young 
And wants to lend a hand 
And grins at each new comer
And in July the man in cotton shirt 
He sits and thinks on being idle
The August man in thousands take the road 
To watch the sea and find the sun 
September man is standing near 
To saddle up another the year 
And Autumn is his bridle
The man of new October takes the reins 
And early frost is on his shoulder 
The poor November man sees fire and rain 
And snow and mist and wintery gale 
December man looks through the snow 
To let eleven brothers know 
They’re all a little older
 
And the January man comes round again 
In woollen coat and boots of leather 
To take another turn and walk along 
the icy road he knows so well 
For the January man is here for 
Starting each and every year 
Along the road for ever

January Man - Box Set Pink C.D. i know, I know, I have recorded it recently and also in the distant past but I am convinced you will want to hear this version of Dave Goulders timeless classic. Dispite the fact that there is a version of this on my last album I am confident that you will agree with me and consider the track worthy of inclusion. If you disagree with me well that's the sort of thing that makes life interesting. I'll try and make it up to you with the next box set.
Here's the list of Christy Moore songs on the site for guitar players.
