[Intro] | C | Em | Dm | Dm | | Dm | G7 | G7 | G | | C | C | [Verse 1]
  C               Em               Dm
Beneath the snowy mantle, cold and clean

      G                        G7                      C
The unborn grass lies waiting, for its coat to turn to green

                       Em              Dm
The snowbird sings the song, he always sings

    G                                  G7             C
And speaks to me of flowers, that will bloom again in spring
[Chorus]
C                Em             Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away

    G                            G7                         C
And take the snow back with you, where it came from on that day

                  Em        Dm
The one I love forever is untrue

    G                    G7                         C
And if I could you know, that I would fly away with you
[Verse 2]
                     Em             Dm
The breeze along the river seems to say

           G                          G7                 C
That he'll only break my heart again, should I decide to stay

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

        G                             G7                  C
To that land of gentle breezes, where the peaceful waters flow
[Interlude] | C | Em | Dm | Dm | | Dm | G7 | G7 | C | | G# | C# | C# | [Verse 3]
C#             Fm                    D#m
I was young my heart was young then, too

G#                              G#7                           C#
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do

                    Fm            D#m
But now I feel such emptiness within

        G#                                   G#7                C#
For the thing that I want most in life, is a thing that I can't win
[Chorus]
C#                Fm            D#m
Spread your tiny wings and fly away

    G#                           G#7                        C#
And take the snow back with you, where it came from on that day

                  Fm        D#m
The one I love forever is untrue

    G#                   G#7                        C#
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
[Outro]
    G#                   G#7          Fm         D#m      C#
And if I could, you know that I would fly-y-y-y away with you..
