Chords with lyrics
In The Freezer by Joe Scruggs
Chorded by Alaina Musich
This is a cute song for kids, easily found on YouTube if you need melodic reference.
It's not terribly well known, but I love teaching it to classrooms of K-5 - They think it's hilarious.
Great for the family, sweet melody, fun to sing, and good for Winter into Spring music lessons.
I am not a guitarist, but use guitar in the classroom for lack of a piano.
The B minorBm may be omitted if you can't play the chord change very well, like me! ;)
In the middle of each verse, you can choose to hold D, or alternate between D MajorD & C.
Play around with it and find out what works best for you!
G+G
There was snow on the ground
B minorBm A minorAm
But it was a sunny day.
D MajorD
We knew that our snowman
Was bound to melt away.
G+G
So we asked our Mom
C majorC A minorAm
And though it did not please her,
C majorC
She said we could keep
D MajorD
Our snowman in the freezer.
Chorus
G+G
He?s in the freezer,
A minorAm
He?s our snowman.
D MajorD
He?s in the freezer,
G+G
Getting a frost tan.
E minorEm
He?s in the freezer,
A minorAm
Keeps as cold as he can.
D MajorD
He doesn?t go to school,
He just keeps cool,
G+G
In the freezer ?
G+G
We feed him bits of frost
C majorC B minorBm A minorAm
And lots of ice cubes.
D MajorD
We show him to our friends
When we come home from school.
G+G
We watch him as he sits
C majorC B minorBm A minorAm
Next to the frozen squash,
D MajorD
?Til Dad shuts the door and says,
G+G
?It?s starting to defrost.
Chorus
G+G
He?s in the freezer,
A minorAm
He?s our snowman.
D MajorD
He?s in the freezer,
G+G
Getting a frost tan.
E minorEm
He?s in the freezer,
A minorAm
Keeps as cold as he can.
D MajorD
He doesn?t go to school,
He just keeps cool,
G+G
In the freezer ?
One night at suppertime
C majorC B minorBm A minorAm
My Mom said it was sad
D MajorD
As she told us of the ice cream
That we could have had.
Our snowman was taking up
C majorC B minorBm A minorAm
All the room it seems,
D MajorD
And she didn?t have a place
G+G
To put our ice cream.
Final Chorus
G+G
He?s on the sidewalk
A minorAm
And he?s melting fast.
D MajorD
You know a snowman
G+G
Was not meant to last.
E minorEm
It won?t be long now
A minorAm
Before he melts away
G+G D MajorD
And we?re having ice cream
G+G
For dessert today!
It?s in the freezer!
It?s in the freezer!
