Intro:
C majorC  DmDm  G+G  C majorC   DmDm  G+G  C majorC

Verse:
                  DmDm
Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean
  G+G                         C majorC
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
  C majorC                 DmDm
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
  G+G                        C majorC
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

Verse:
                     DmDm
When I was young my heart was young then, too
  G+G                               C majorC
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
  C majorC               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

Verse:
                DmDm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
  G+G                           C majorC
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
  C majorC            DmDm
The one I love forever is untrue
  G+G                       C majorC
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

Verse:
                  DmDm
The breeze along the river seems to say
      G+G                      C majorC
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
      C majorC                  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

Verse:
                DmDm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
  G+G                           C majorC
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
  C majorC            DmDm
The one I love forever is untrue
  G+G                        C majorC
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
   G+G                       C majorC
Yeah, if I could, I know that I would fly away with you
