Verse 1
A
Beneath this snowy
C#m
mantle, cold and
Bm
clean
The
E
unborn grass lies waiting for its
E7
coat to turn to
A
green
The
A
snowbird sings the
C#m
song he always
Bm
sings
And
E
speaks to me of flowers that will
E7
bloom again in
A
spring
Verse 2
When
A
I was young my
C#m
heart was young then,
Bm
too
Any
E
thing that it would tell me, that’s the
E7
thing that I would
A
do
But
A
now I feel such
C#m
emptiness
with
Bm
in
For the
E
thing that I want most in life’s the
E7
thing that I can’t
A
win
Chorus
A
Spread your tiny
C#m
wings and fly
Bm
away
And
E
take the snow back with you where it
E7
came from on that
A
day
The
A
one I love for
C#m
ever is un
Bm
true
And
E
if I could, you know that I would
E7
fly away with
A
you
Verse 3
The
A
breeze along the
C#m
river seems to
Bm
say
That he’ll
E
only break my heart again should
E7
I decide to
A
stay
So, little
A
snowbird take me
C#m
with you when you
Bm
go
To that
E
land of gentle breezes where the
E7
peaceful waters
A
flow
Chorus
A
Spread your tiny
C#m
wings and fly
Bm
away
And
E
take the snow back with you where it
E7
came from on that
A
day
The
A
one I love for
C#m
ever is un
Bm
true
And
E
if I could, you know that I would
E7
fly away with
A
you
Outro
And
E
if I could, you know that I would
D
fly
a
Bm
way with
A
you
