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
