C                                                  F
Some folks like the summer time when they can walk about
G7                                                        C
Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no doubt
                                                F
But give me the winter time when snow is on the ground
      G7                                 C
For I found her when the snow was on the ground


[Chorus]
                                      G7
I traced her little footprints in the snow
                                     C
I found her little footprints in the snow
                                          F
Bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
      G7                                 C
For I found her when the snow was on the ground


[Verse]
                                              F
I dropped in to see her there was a big round moon
G7                                                          C
Her mother said she just stepped out but would be returning soon
                                                          F
I found her little footprints and traced them through the snow
      G7                                 C
For I found her when the snow was on the ground


[Chorus]
                                      G7
I traced her little footprints in the snow
                                     C
I found her little footprints in the snow
                                          F
Bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
      G7                                 C
For I found her when the snow was on the ground
      
  
[Verse]
                                     F
Now she's up in heaven she’s with the angels band
G7                                            C
I know I'm going to meet her in that promised land
                                         F
Every time the snow falls it brings back memories
      G7                                 C
For I found her when the snow was on the ground 


[Chorus]
                                      G7
I traced her little footprints in the snow
                                     C
I found her little footprints in the snow
                                          F
Bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
      G7                                 C
For I found her when the snow was on the ground
