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