{t:Snowbird}
{st:Gene MacLellan, Anne Murray (1970)}
{c:verse 1}
Be-[G]neath it's snowy [Bm]mantle cold and [Am]clean
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
{c:verse 2}
When [G]I was young my [Bm]heart was young then [Am]too
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
For the [D7]thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't [G]win
{soc}
[G]Spread your tiny [Bm]wings and fly a-[Am]way
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
And [D7]if I could you know that I would fly away with [G]you
{eoc}
{c:verse 3}
The [G]breeze along the [Bm]river seems to [Am]say
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
To that [D7]land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters [G]flow
{soc}
[G]Spread your tiny [Bm]wings and fly a-[Am]way
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
And [D7]if I could you know that I would fly away with [G]you
{eoc}
{c:outro}
Yeah [D7]if I could you know that I would [Am]fly …
Aw-[D7]ay with [G]you
