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