C/D G
Lay your body down upon the midnight snow

Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Cmaj7 E7sus4
Here in a world of your own

In a casing that's grown
Am7 Gm/Bb
To a children's delight
Am7 [ C/D ]
That arrived overnight

And here they come to play their magic games
C/D G
Carving names upon your frozen hand
Cmaj7 E7sus4
Here in a world of your own

Like a sleeper whose eyes

Sees the pain with surprise
Am7
As it smothers your cries

They'll never, never know

Hey, hey what a Snowman

Smiling faces tear your body to the ground

Covered red that only we can see
Cmaj7 E7sus4
Here in a ball that they made

From the snow on the ground

See it rolling away

Wild eyes to the sky

They'll never, never know

YES! Thats it. I tried it based on the first version here and played it with some variations. Especially the intro with am7 with G and the G barred to get the a g e d at the end. But this seems to be exactly what is played in the song! GREAT! THANX!
