Snowbird chords Anne Murray 1970 (Gene MacLellan) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowbird_(song) Capo II * [Intro] G Bm Am D D7 G [Verse]
  G                Bm              Am
Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean,

    D                                 D7              G
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.

    G                  Bm             Am
The snowbird sings the song he always sings,

    D                                 D7             G
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring. 

     G              Bm                    Am
When I was young my heart was young then, too.

    D                                          D7                 G
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.

    G               Bm            Am
But now I feel such emptiness within,

        D                                    D7                 G
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win.

G                Bm             Am
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,

    D                                    D7                G
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.

    G             Bm        Am
The one I love forever is untrue,

    D                                D7            G
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.

    G                Bm             Am
The breeze along the river seems to say,

           D                                D7          G
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.

           G                 Bm                Am
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go

        D                                D7              G
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.

G                Bm             Am
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,

    D                                    D7                G
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.

    G             Bm        Am
The one I love forever is untrue,

    D                                D7            G
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.

      D                              C   Am          G
Yeah, if I could I know that I would fly   away with you.
