(verse 1) 
  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, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
     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,
(verse 3) 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,
