Introduction:  E   E  

 E 
I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats
 E 
With scarves of red tied ' round their throats
 F#m 
To keep their little heads
 F#m 
From fallin'  in the snow
 F#m 
And I turn ' round and there you go
 A 
And Michael you would fall
 A                     B7 
And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime
