Intro - C - Em - Dm - C (verse 1) C Em Dm Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean, G The unborn grass lies waiting, C for its coat to turn to green, C Em Dm The snowbird sings a song he always sings, G And speaks to me of flowers, C that will bloom again in spring, (verse 2) C Em Dm When I was young my heart was young then too, G Anything that it would tell me, C that's the thing that I would do, C Em Dm But now I feel such emptiness within, G For the thing that I want most in life, C Is the thing I can't win, C Em Dm Spread your tiny wings and fly away, G And take the snow back with you, C Where it came from on that day, C Em Dm The one I love forever is untrue, G And if I could you know, C that I would fly away with you, (verse 3) C Em Dm The breeze along the river seems to say, G That she'll only break my heart again, C should I decide to stay, C Em Dm So little snowbird take me with you when you go, G To that land of gentle breezes, C where the peaceful waters flow, C Em Dm Spread your tiny wings and fly away, G And take the snow back with you, C Where it came from on that day, C Em Dm The one I love forever is untrue, G And if I could you know, C That I would fly away with you, G Yeah, and if I could you know, F G C That I would fly away with you,
