Be[G]neath its snowy [Bm]mantle cold and [Am]clean
The [D]unborn grass lies waiting for its [D7]coat to turn to [G]green
The [G]snowbird sings the song he always [Am]sings
And [D]speaks to me of flowers that will [D7]bloom again in [G]spring
When I was [G]young, my [Bm]heart was young, then [Am]too
And any[D]thing that it would tell me, that’s the [D7]thing that I would [G]do
But [G]now I feel such emptiness with[Am]in
For the [D]thing that I want most in life’s the [D7]thing that I can’t [G]win
[G]Spread your tiny [Bm]wings and fly a[Am]way
And [D]take the snow back with you where it[D7] came from on that [G]day
[G]The one I love [Bm]forever is un[Am]true
And [D]if I could, you know that I would [D7]fly away with [G]you
The [G]breeze along the [Bm]river seems to [Am]say
That he’ll [D]only break my heart again should [D7]I decide to [G]stay
So, little [G]snowbird, take me [Bm]with you when you [Am]go
To that [D]land of gentle breezes where the [D7]peaceful waters [G]flow
[G]Spread your tiny [Bm]wings and fly a[Am]way
And [D]take the snow back with you where it[D7] came from on that [G]day
[G]The one I love [Bm]forever is un[Am]true
And [D]if I could, you know that I would [D7]fly away with [G]you
Yeah, [D]if I could, you know that I would [D7]fly away with [G]you
