[Verse]
C                Em              Dm
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean

    G
The unborn grass lies waiting

                        C
For its coat to turn to green

    C                Em             Dm
The snowbird sings a song he always sings

    G
And speaks to me of flowers

                         C
That will bloom again in spring

     C              Em                   Dm
When I was young my heart was young then too

   G
Anything that it would tell me

                              C
That s the thing that I would do

    C               Em           Dm
But now I feel such emptiness within

        G
For the thing that I want most in life

                     C
Is the thing I can't win

C                Em             Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away

    G
And take the snow back with you

                           C
Where it came from on that day

    C             Em        Dm
The one I love forever is untrue

    G
And if I could you know

                           C
That I would fly away with you

    C                Em             Dm
The breeze along the river seems to say

     G
That she'll only break my heart again

                   C
Should I decide to stay

          C                Em                Dm
So little snowbird take me with you when you go

        G
To that land of gentle breezes

                          C
Where the peaceful waters flow

C                Em             Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away

    G
And take the snow back with you

                           C
Where it came from on that day

    C             Em        Dm
The one I love forever is untrue

    G
And if I could you know

                           C
That I would fly away with you

          G
Yeah and if I could you know

             F    G        C
That I would fly away with you
