Sit beneath a tree by the railroad track.

[A] strummin’ to the rhythm that the drivers made
[E7] People passing by... they would stop and say
Oh [A] my but that little country boy can play.
|Chorus:

His [A] mother told him “someday you will be a man”
And you will be the leader of a Big Uke Jam

Sayin’ [A] ‘ Johnny B. Goode tonight’.

Frosty The Snowman (Maggie)
[G] Frosty the Snowman was a [C] jolly [D7] happy [G] soul
With a [C] corncob pipe and a [G]button nose
And two [D7] eyes made out of [G]coal
[G]Frosty the Snowman is a [C]fairy [D7]tale they [G]say
He was [C]made of snow but the [G]children know
How he [D7]came to life one [G]day [G7]
There [C] must have been some [Bm] magic
In that [Am] old silk [D7] hat they [G]found
For [D]when they placed it on his head he be[Am]gan to [A7]dance a[D*]round [D7*] FOR!
[G]Frosty the Snowman was a[C]live as [D7] he could [G]be
And the [C]children say he could [G]dance and play
Just the [D7] same as you and [G]me
[G]Frosty the Snowman knew the [C] sun was [D7] hot that [G]day
So he [C] said Let’s run, we’ll have [G] lots of fun now be[D7]fore I melt a[G]way
[G]Down in the village with a [C]broomstick [D7]in his [G]hand
Running [C]here and there all a[G]round the square
Saying [D7]Catch me if you [G]can [G7]
He [C]led them down the [Bm]streets of town
Right [Am]to a [D7]traffic [G]cop
And he [D]only paused one moment
When he [Am]heard them [A7]holler [D*]Stop! [D7*] FOR!!
[G]Frosty the Snowman had to [C]hurry [D7]on his [G]way
But he [C]waved goodbye saying [G]Don't you cry
I'll be [D7]back again some [G]day
I'll be [D7]back again some [G]day
I'll be [D7]back again some [G*]day [G-G-G]

Verse 1:
Well, I [C] took a stroll on the old long walk, On a day-I-ay-I-[F]ay
I [C] met a little girl and we [F] stopped to [C] talk, on a grand-soft [G] day-I-[C]-ay
And I [F] ask you, [C] friend, what's a [F] fella to [C] do
'Cause her [Am] hair was [G] black and her [F] eyes were [C] blue
And I [F] knew right [C] then, I'd be [F] takin' a [C] whirl
'Round the [Am] Salthill [G] Prom with a [F] Galway [C] girl

And I [F] ask you, [C] friend, what's a [F] fella to [C] do
