Snowbird

Chords

Standard

C                Em              Dm
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
    G
The unborn grass lies waiting
                        C
For its coat to turn to green
    C                Em             Dm
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
    G
And speaks to me of flowers
                         C
That will bloom again in spring

     C              Em                   Dm
When I was young my heart was young then too
   G
Anything that it would tell me,
                              C
That?s the thing that I would do
    C               Em           Dm
But now I feel such emptiness within
        G
For the thing that I want most in life
                     C
Is the thing I can't win

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

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

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