Anne Murray 1970 (Gene MacLellan)

Capo II

G Em Am D D7 G

G (320003@1)              Em (022000@1)            AmBeneath (x02210@1)it's snowy mantle cold and clean,
    D (xx0232@1)                               D7 (xx0212@1)            GThe (320003@1)unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.
    G (320003@1)                Em (022000@1)           AmThe (x02210@1)snowbird sings the song he always sings,
    D (xx0232@1)                               D7 (xx0212@1)           GAnd (320003@1)speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring.

G (320003@1)            Em (022000@1)                  AmWhen (x02210@1)I was young my heart was young then, too.
    D (xx0232@1)                                        D7 (xx0212@1)               GAnd (320003@1)anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.
    G (320003@1)             Em (022000@1)          AmBut (x02210@1)now I feel such emptiness within,
        D (xx0232@1)                                  D7 (xx0212@1)               GFor (320003@1)the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win.

G (320003@1)              Em (022000@1)           AmSpread (x02210@1)your tiny wings and fly away,
    D (xx0232@1)                                  D7 (xx0212@1)              GAnd (320003@1)take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
    G (320003@1)           Em (022000@1)      AmThe (x02210@1)one I love forever is untrue,
    D (xx0232@1)                              D7 (xx0212@1)          GAnd (320003@1)if I could you know that I would fly away with you.

G (320003@1)              Em (022000@1)           AmThe (x02210@1)breeze along the river seems to say,
           D (xx0232@1)                              D7 (xx0212@1)        GThat (320003@1)he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.
           G (320003@1)               Em (022000@1)              AmSo, (x02210@1)little snowbird, take me with you when you go
        D (xx0232@1)                              D7 (xx0212@1)            GTo (320003@1)that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.

G (320003@1)              Em (022000@1)           AmSpread (x02210@1)your tiny wings and fly away,
    D (xx0232@1)                                  D7 (xx0212@1)              GAnd (320003@1)take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
    G (320003@1)           Em (022000@1)      AmThe (x02210@1)one I love forever is untrue,
    D (xx0232@1)                              D7 (xx0212@1)          GAnd (320003@1)if I could you know that I would fly away with you.

D (xx0232@1)                            C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1)        GYeah, (320003@1)if I could I know that I would fly   away with you.
