[Verse 1]
Ab Cm7 Bbm7
Beneath this snowy mantle, cold and clean
Eb Eb7 Ab
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
Cm7 Bbm7
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
Eb7 Eb Ab
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
[Verse 2]
Ab Cm7 Bbm7
When I was young my heart was young then, too
Eb Eb7 Ab
Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do
Cm7 Bbm7
But now I feel such emptiness within
Eb7 Eb Ab
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win
[Chorus]
Ab Cm7 Bbm7
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
Eb Eb7 Ab
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
Cm7 Bbm7
The one I love forever is untrue
Eb7 Eb Ab
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
[Verse 2]
Ab Cm7 Bbm7
The breeze along the river seems to say
Eb Eb7 Ab
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
Cm7 Bbm7
So, little snowbird take me with you when you go
Eb7 Eb Ab
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
[Chorus]
Ab Cm7 Bbm7
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
Eb Eb7 Ab
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
Cm7 Bbm7
The one I love forever is untrue
Eb7 Eb Ab
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
[Instrumental]
Cm7 Bbm7 Eb Ab Cm Bbm7 Eb Ab
[Chorus]
Ab Cm7 Bbm7
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
Eb Ab
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
Cm7 Bbm7
The one I love forever is untrue
Eb7 Eb Ab
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
Eb7 Db Bbm7 Ab
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
