INTRO
         2/4
| C majorC E minorEm | DmDm | G+G | G+G | C majorC |


VERSE
 C majorC        E minorEm       DmDm
Beyond this snowy metal cold and clean
  G+G                         C majorC
The unborn grass lies waiting for this cold to turn to green
  C majorC         E minorEm       DmDm
The snowbird sings the songs he always sings
  G+G                         C majorC
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

VERSE
   C majorC       E minorEm         DmDm
When I was young my heart was young and true
  G+G                             C majorC
Anything that it would tell me that?s the thing that I would do
  C majorC        E minorEm      DmDm
But now I feel such emptiness within
    G+G                            C majorC
For the thing that I want most in life?s the thing that I can?t win


CHORUS
C majorC        E minorEm       DmDm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
  G+G
And take the snow back with you
     G+G          C majorC
Where it came from home that day [?]
C majorC       E minorEm    DmDm
When a love forever is untrue
  G+G                        C majorC
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you


VERSE
  C majorC        E minorEm       DmDm
The breeze along the river seems to say
      G+G                      C majorC
That you?ll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
     C majorC        E minorEm        DmDm
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
    G+G                        C majorC
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow


CHORUS
 C majorC        E minorEm       DmDm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
  G+G
And take the snow back with you
     G+G          C majorC
Where it came from home that day [?]
C majorC       E minorEm    DmDm
When a love forever is untrue
  G+G                        C majorC
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you


CODA                               2/4
   G+G                FF     DmDm    | C majorC | C majorC | C majorC
Yeah, if I could you know that I would fly-y-y-y-y away with you
