[Verse 1]
BeCyond this snowy Emmantle cold and Dmclean
The Gunborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to Cgreen
The Csnowbird sings the Emsongs he always Dmsings
And Gspeaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spCring
[Verse 2]
When CI was young my Emheart was young and Dmtrue
AnyGthing that it would tell me that’s the thing that I would Cdo
But Cnow I feel such Ememptiness withDmin
For the Gthing that I want most in life’s the thing that I can’t Cwin
[Chorus]
CSpread your tiny Emwings and fly aDmway
And Gtake the snow back with you 
Where it Gcame from on that dCay
The Cone I love forEmever is unDmtrue
And Gif I could, you know that I would fly away with Cyou
[Verse 3]
The Cbreeze along the Emriver seems to Dmsay
That you’ll Gonly break my heart again should I decide to Cstay
So little Csnowbird take me Emwith you when you Dmgo
To that Gland of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters Cflow
[Chorus]
SpCread your tiny wEmings and fly awDmay
And Gtake the snow back with you 
Where it Gcame from on that dCay
The Cone I love forEmever is unDmtrue
And Gif I could, you know that I would fly away with Cyou
[Coda]                                                           2/4

[Intro]

2/4

C Em Dm G G C

| | | | | |

[Verse 1]

C Em Dm

Beyond this snowy mantle cold and clean

G C

The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green

C Em Dm

The snowbird sings the songs he always sings

G C

And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

[Verse 2]

C Em Dm

When I was young my heart was young and true

G C

Anything that it would tell me that’s the thing that I would do

C Em 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

[Chorus]

C Em Dm

Spread your tiny wings and fly away

And take the snow back with you

G C

Where it came from on that day

C Em Dm

The one I love forever is untrue

G C

And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you

[Verse 3]

C Em Dm

The breeze along the river seems to say

G C

That you’ll only break my heart again should I decide to stay

C Em Dm

So little snowbird take me with you when you go

G C

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

[Chorus]

C Em Dm

Spread your tiny wings and fly away

And take the snow back with you

G C

Where it came from on that day

C Em Dm

The one I love forever is untrue

G C

And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you

[Coda] 2/4
