Eddie Noack – Snowbird (Guitar)

A
Ducks flying south and the rich man also

D
Heading for the beaches where the warm gulf winds blow

    A                                        E7
And I'm leaving too, I can hear that whistle cry

       A
'cause I'm the kind of bird that has to navigate

D
Tourist class on a southbound freight

    A                      E7               A
But this snowbird is gonna come back by and by

           E7
'cause the ground's too cold for this poor boy's sandals

A
People won't stop so I can't panhandle

   D                     A                  E7
So goodbye, Denver, I'll see you again next spring

    A
The cop on the beat, he even seems a little friendly

D
He knows this cold weather's gonna send me

A                    E7                A
South of Dixie, this snowbird's on the wing

   E7
My health's good enough but my wardrobe's thinner

     A
If I don't head south, I'm gonna freeze this winter

       D                      A               E7
So the railroad line is gonna have an unknown guest

  A
I gotta vacate but it's no vacation

         D
When the train slows down in some southern station

        A                   E7                A
You can tell everybody this snowbird's on his nest

             A                   E7                A    D    E7    A
Yes, you can tell everybody this snowbird's on his nest
