Intro:
C  Dm  G  C   Dm  G  C

Verse:
                  Dm
Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean
  G                         C
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
  C                 Dm
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
  G                        C
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

Verse:
                     Dm
When I was young my heart was young then, too
  G                               C
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
  C               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

Verse:
                Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
  G                           C
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
  C            Dm
The one I love forever is untrue
  G                       C
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

Verse:
                  Dm
The breeze along the river seems to say
      G                      C
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
      C                  Dm
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go
    G                        C
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

Verse:
                Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
  G                           C
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
  C            Dm
The one I love forever is untrue
  G                        C
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
   G                       C
Yeah, if I could, I know that I would fly away with you
