Snowbird:Anne Murray.
#1 in 1970.
INTRO:  A   C#m    Bm   E7   A  
#1.   
ABeneath this snowy C#mmantle cold and Bmclean, 
the Eunborn grass lies waiting for it's E7coat to turn to Agreen. 
The Asnowbird sings the C#msong he always Bmsings, 
and Espeaks to me of flowers that will E7bloom again in Aspring. 
#2.   
When AI was young, my C#mheart was young then, Bmtoo, 
anyEthing that it would tell me, that's the E7thing that I would Ado. 
But Anow I feel such C#memptiness withBmin.. 
for the Ething that I want most in life is the E7thing that I can't Awin. 
CHORUS:   
ASpread your tiny C#mwings and fly aBmway, 
and Etake the snow back with you where it E7came from on that Aday. 
The Aone I love forC#mever is unBmtrue, 
and Eif I could, you know that I would E7fly away with Ayou. 
#3.   
The Abreeze along the C#mriver seems to Bmsay, 
that he'll Eonly break my heart again should E7I decide to Astay. 
So, little Asnowbird, take me C#mwith you when you Bmgo, 
to that Eland of gentle breezes where the E7peaceful waters Aflow. 
CHORUS:   
ASpread your tiny C#mwings and fly aBmway, 
and Etake the snow back with you where it E7came from on that Aday. 
The Aone I love forC#mever is unBmtrue, 
and Eif I could, you know that I would E7fly away with Ayou. 
OUTRO:  
Yeah, if EI could you know that I would Dfly.y.y.y...a..Bmway with Ayou.

Snowbird:Anne Murray.

#1 in 1970.

A C#m Bm E7 A

INTRO:

#1.

A C#m Bm

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean,

E E7 A

the unborn grass lies waiting for it's coat to turn to green.

A C#m Bm

The snowbird sings the song he always sings,

E E7 A

and speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring.

#2.

A C#m Bm

When I was young, my heart was young then, too,

E E7 A

anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.

A C#m Bm

But now I feel such emptiness within..

E E7 A

for the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win.

CHORUS:

A C#m Bm

Spread your tiny wings and fly away,

E E7 A

and take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.

A C#m Bm

The one I love forever is untrue,

E E7 A

and if I could, you know that I would fly away with you.

#3.

A C#m Bm

The breeze along the river seems to say,

E E7 A

that he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.

A C#m Bm

So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go,

E E7 A

to that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.

CHORUS:

A C#m Bm

Spread your tiny wings and fly away,

E E7 A

and take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.

A C#m Bm

The one I love forever is untrue,

E E7 A

and if I could, you know that I would fly away with you.

OUTRO:

E D Bm A

Yeah, if I could you know that I would fly.y.y.y...a..way with you.
