#1.
A                  C#m             Bm
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean, 
    E                                  E7              A
the unborn grass lies waiting for it's coat to turn to green. 
    A                  C#m            Bm
The snowbird sings the song he always sings, 
    E                                 E7             A
and speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring. 
 
#2.
     A               C#m                   Bm
When I was young, my heart was young then, too, 
   E                                       E7                 A
anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do. 
    A               C#m           Bm
But now I feel such emptiness within.. 
        E                                     E7                 A
for the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win. 
 
CHORUS:
A                C#m            Bm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away, 
    E                                    E7                A
and take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. 
    A             C#m       Bm
The one I love forever is untrue, 
    E                                 E7            A
and if I could, you know that I would fly away with you. 
 
#3.
    A                C#m            Bm
The breeze along the river seems to say, 
           E                                E7          A
that he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay. 
           A                 C#m               Bm
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go, 
        E                                E7              A
to that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow. 
 
CHORUS:
A                C#m            Bm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away, 
    E                                    E7                A
and take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. 
    A             C#m       Bm
The one I love forever is untrue, 
    E                                 E7            A
and if I could, you know that I would fly away with you. 
 
OUTRO:
         E                             D              Bm       A
Yeah, if I could you know that I would fly.y.y.y...a..way with you.
