[Intro]
2/4
| C Em | Dm | G | G | C |
[Verse 1]
C Em Dm Beyond this snowy mantle cold and clean G C The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green C Em Dm The snowbird sings the songs he always sings G C And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
[Verse 2]
C Em Dm When I was young my heart was young and true G C Anything that it would tell me that’s the thing that I would do C Em Dm But now I feel such emptiness within G C For the thing that I want most in life’s the thing that I can’t win
[Chorus]
C Em Dm Spread your tiny wings and fly away G And take the snow back with you G C Where it came from on that day C Em Dm The one I love forever is untrue G C And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
[Verse 3]
C Em Dm The breeze along the river seems to say G C That you’ll only break my heart again should I decide to stay C Em Dm So little snowbird take me with you when you go G C To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
[Chorus]
C Em Dm Spread your tiny wings and fly away G And take the snow back with you G C Where it came from on that day C Em Dm The one I love forever is untrue G C And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
[Coda] 2/4
G F Dm | C | C | C Yeah, if I could, you know that I would fly-y-y-y-y away with you
