Song:

VERSE 1
5 4 -3 4 -4 5
In 1855
-4 4 -3 (-3) -3 4 -4
in old California
4 -3 -3 4 -4 4
A man was a lookin
-3 -3 4 4 -4 5
in the paper one day
5 -4 4 4 -4 5 -4
Uncle Sam needs a postman
4 -5 -5 6 -6
to carry the mail
-6 -6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
through the High Sierra Mtns
4 -4 5 4 -4 -3 4
Over God forsaken trails
5 4 -3 4 -4 5 -4
Well Snowshoe Thompson told em
4 -3 (-3) -3 4 -4
he swore he was their man
-3 (-3) -3 4 -4 4
Hed get thru them mtns
-3 4 -3 4 -4 5
if anybody can
5 -4 4 -3 4 -4 5 -4
So he took a pair of snowshoes
4 4 -5 5 -5 6 -6
& he took a pair of skis
-6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
& led out thru the mtns
4 -4 5 4 -4 -3 4
where a normal man would freeze

CHORUS
6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
He was cautious as a mtn cat
-5 6 6 -6 6
& fleet as a deer
-6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
Tough as a grizzly bear
-5 6 6 5
He knew no fear
5 4 -3 4 -4 5 -4
He lived a life of danger
4 4 -5 5 -5 6 -6
bringin mtn people news
-6 6 6 6 5
Cause Snowshoe Thompson
4 -4 5 4 -4 -3 4
packed the mail on thru

VERSE 2
5 5 4 -3 4 -4 5 -4
In the High Sierra Mtns
4 4 -3 (-3) -3 4 -4
it was 32 below
4 -3 (-3) -3 4 -4 4
blue blizzards fairly whistled
-3 -3 4 -3 4 -4 5
bringin 40 ft of snow
5 4 4 -4 5 -4
no one dared to venture
4 4 -5 5 -5 6 -6
on the slippry mtn trail
-6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
But Snowshoe kept a comin
4 -4 5 4 -4 -3 4
he was packin US mail
5 4 -3 4 -4 5 -4
His face was weatherbeaten
4 4 -3 (-3) -3 4 -4
from his many rugged miles
4 -3 (-3) -3 4 -4 4
but he knew it was worth it
-3 -3 4 -3 4 -4 5
when hed see the people smile
5 4 -3 4 -4 5 -4
His deeds are not forgotten
4 4 -5 5 -5 6 -6
they stand in the hall of fame
-6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
Theyre changin Old Snow Valley
4 5 4 -4 -3 4
To Snowshoe Thompsons name

CHORUS
