Be- [G] neath it's snowy [Bm] mantle cold and [Am] clean [/] [Am]
The [D7] unborn grass lies [/] waiting for its [/] coat to turn to [G] green
The [G] snowbird sings the [Bm] song he always [Am] sings [/] 
And [/] [D7] speaks to me of [/] flowers that will [/] bloom again in [G] spring 


When [G] I was young my [Bm] heart was young then [Am] too [/] [Am]
And any [D7] thing that it would [/] tell me that's the [/] thing that I would [G] do
But [G] now I feel such [Bm] emptiness with- [Am] in [/] [Am]
For the [D7] thing that I want [/] most in life's the [/] thing that I can't [G] win


[G] Spread your tiny [Bm] wings and fly a- [Am] way [/] [Am]
And [D7] take the snow back [/] with you where it [/] came from on that [G] day
The [G] one I love for- [Bm] ever is un- [Am] true [/] [Am]
And [D7] if I could you [/] know that I would [/] fly away with [G] you


The [G] breeze along the [Bm] river seems to [Am] say [/] [Am]
That he'll [D7] only break my [/] heart again should [/] I decide to [G] stay
So little [G] snowbird take me [Bm] with you when you [Am] go [/] [Am]
To that [D7] land of gentle [/] breezes where the [/] peaceful waters [G] flow


[G] Spread your tiny [Bm] wings and fly a- [Am] way [/] [Am]
And [D7] take the snow back [/] with you where it [/] came from on that [G] day
The [G] one I love for- [Bm] ever is un- [Am] true [/] [Am]
And [D7] if I could you [/] know that I would [/] fly away with [G] you


Yeah [D7] if I could you [/] know that I would [Am] fly …  [/] [Am]
[D7] away with [G] you [/] [G] [/] [G] [/] [G↓]
