[Intro]
G Bm Am D D7 G
[Verse]
G Bm Am
Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean,
D D7
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat
G
to turn to green.
G Bm
The snowbird sings the song he always
Am
sings,
D D7
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom
G
again in spring.
G Bm
When I was young my heart was young then,
Am
too.
D
And anything that it would tell me, that's
D7 G
the thing that I would do.
G Bm Am
But now I feel such emptiness within,
D
For the thing that I want most in life's
D7 G
the thing that I can't win.
G Bm Am
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
D
And take the snow back with you where it
D7 G
came from on that day.
G Bm Am
The one I love forever is untrue,
D D7
And if I could you know that I would fly
G
away with you.
G Bm Am
The breeze along the river seems to say,
D
That he'll only break my heart again should
D7 G
I decide to stay.
G Bm
So, little snowbird, take me with you when
Am
you go
D
To that land of gentle breezes where the
D7 G
peaceful waters flow.
G Bm Am
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
D
And take the snow back with you where it
D7 G
came from on that day.
G Bm Am
The one I love forever is untrue,
D D7
And if I could you know that I would fly
G
away with you.
D C Am
Yeah, if I could I know that I would fly
G
away with you.
