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
