[G#m] [F#m]
[G#m] [E]
Beneath its snowy mandrel [F#m] cold and plain,
[B] The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to [E] turn to green.
The snowbird sings the song he [F#m] always sings,
[B] That speaks to me of flowers that will bloom [E] again in spring.
When I was young my heart was [F#m] young then too,
[B] Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that [E] I would do.
[G#m] [E]
Beneath its snowy mandrel [F#m] cold and plain,
[B] The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to [E] turn to green.
The snowbird sings the song he [F#m] always sings,
[B] That speaks to me of flowers that will bloom [E] again in spring.
When I was young my heart was [F#m] young then too,
[B] Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that [E] I would do.

[B] The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to [E] turn to green.
_ The snowbird sings the song he [F#m] always sings,
[B] That speaks to me of flowers that will bloom [E] again in spring.
_ When I was young my heart was [F#m] young then too, _
[B] Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that [E] I would do.
But now I feel such emptiness [F#m] within, _
[B] Oh the thing that I want most in life's the thing that [E] I can't win.
_ Spread your tiny wings [F#m] and fly away, _
[B] And take the snow back with you where it came from [E] all that day.
_ The one I love forever [F#m] is untrue, _
[B] And if I could you know that I would fly [E] away with you.

_ My mind [G#m] says that I only [F#m] want to be _ [B] a wanderer,
And just like you I'm longing to [E] be free. _
_ But in my [G#m] heart I know it's [F#m] just a lie,
For [B] without her love the vision of my happiness [E] would die.
_ The breeze [G#m] along the river [F#m] seems to say,
Oh that [B] she'll only break my heart again should I [E] decide to stay.
So little [G#m] snowbird take me with you [F#m] when you go,
To [B] that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful [E] waters flow.
_ Spread your tiny wings and [F#m] fly away, _
[B] And take the snow back with you where it came from [E] all that day.
_ The one I love forever [F#m] is untrue, _
[B] And if I could you know that I would fly away [E] with you.
_ [B] Yes, if I could you know that [A] I would fly _ [F#m] away [E] with you.
