                 G7 
Please send some snow 
              C 
Some snow for Johnny 
            G7 
He wants to build 
          C 
A big snowman 

verse 1 
         C 
It was a week just before Christmas 
                  G7 
Way down in Louisian' 
G7 
A little boy was kneeling by his bed 
                       C 
In a manner poised and grand 

C 
I listened as he said his prayers 
    C7                  F 
His voice came soft and low 
   F                     C 
He said, "God tell Saint Nicholas 
   G7            C 
To send a little snow" 

                 G7 
Please send some snow 
              C 
Some snow for Johnny 
            G7 
He wants to build 
          C 
A big snowman 

verse 2 
C 
I'd like to build a snowman 
                        G7 
Like the other children do 
G7 
I've got an old top hat and a walking cane 
                     C 
Got a big long cigar too 

C 
Yes, everything is ready 
    C7             F 
And I'm all set to go 
    F             C 
How can I build a snowman 
       G7          C 
When I haven't any snow 

                 G7 
Please send some snow 
              C 
Some snow for Johnny 
            G7 
He wants to build 
          C 
A big snowman 

verse 3 
     D 
Now, early Christmas morning 
            A7 
Much to his surprise 

Snowflakes by the million 
                      D 
Were falling from the skies 

D 
Down the stairs and out-of-doors 
   D7               G 
As fast as he could go 
                    D 
So happy that Saint Nicholas 
     A7           D 
Had sent a little snow 

               A7 
Thanks for the snow 
             D 
The snow for Johnny 
           A7 
Now he can build 
          D 
A big snowman 

               A7 
Thanks for the snow 
             D 
The snow for Johnny 
           A7 
Now he can build 
          D 
A big snowman 

               A7 
Thanks for the snow 
             D 
The snow for Johnny 
           A7 
Now he can build 
          D 
A big snowman
