Anne Murray – Snowbird (Ukulele)

A                  F#m             Bm 
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean, 

    E                                  E7              A 
the unborn grass lies waiting for it's coat to turn to green. 

    A                  F#m            Bm 
The snowbird sings the song he always sings, 

    E                                 E7             A 
and speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring. 

     A               F#m                   Bm 
When I was young, my heart was young then, too, 

   E                                       E7                 A 
anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do. 

    A               F#m           Bm 
But now I feel such emptiness within.. 

        E                                     E7                 A 
for the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win. 

A                F#m            Bm 
Spread your tiny wings and fly away, 

    E                                    E7                A 
and take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. 

    A             F#m       Bm 
The one I love forever is untrue, 

    E                                 E7            A 
and if I could, you know that I would fly away with you. 

    A                F#m            Bm 
The breeze along the river seems to say, 

           E                                E7          A 
that he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay. 

           A                 F#m               Bm 
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go, 

        E                                E7              A 
to that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow. 

A                F#m            Bm 
Spread your tiny wings and fly away, 

    E                                    E7                A 
and take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. 

    A             F#m       Bm 
The one I love forever is untrue, 

    E                                 E7            A 
and if I could, you know that I would fly away with you. 

         E                             D              Bm       A 
Yeah, if I could you know that I would fly.y.y.y...a..way with you.
