G Em Am The snowbird sings the song he always sings, D D7 G And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring. G Em Am When I was young my heart was young then, too. D D7 G And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do. G Em Am But now I feel such emptiness within, D D7 G For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win. G Em Am Spread your tiny wings and fly away, D D7 G And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. G Em Am The one I love forever is untrue, D D7 G And if I could you know that I would fly away with you. G Em Am The breeze along the river seems to say, D D7 G That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay. G Em Am So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go D D7 G To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow. G Em Am Spread your tiny wings and fly away, D D7 G And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. G Em Am The one I love forever is untrue, D D7 G And if I could you know that I would fly away with you. D C Am G Yeah, if I could I know that I would fly away with you. Set8
