[C] [Em] [F]
[G]
[C]
Beneath this [Em] snowy mantle [Dm] cold and clean, [G] the unborn grass lies waiting for its cold 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 [C] again in the spring.
When I was [Em] young my heart was [Dm] young then too, [G] anything that it would tell me that's a thing that [C] I would do.
But now I [Em] feel such emptiness [Dm] within, [G] for the thing that I want most in life's a thing that [C] I can't win.
Spread your [Em] tiny wings and [F] fly away, [G] and take the snow back with you where it came from [C] on that day.
What I love [Em] forever [F] 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 stop.
So little snowbird [Em] take me with you [Dm] when you go, to [G] that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful [C] waters flow.

[Eb] [Ab] I saw Jonah eat the whale, [Db] and Dangus was the lion's tail, [Ab] and I crossed [Eb] over Cana [Ab] all along.
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago,
