INTRO
2/4
| C Em | Dm | G | G | C |
VERSE
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
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
When a love forever is untrue
G C
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
VERSE
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
When a 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
