G                 G7M             Am
Be- neath this snowy mantle cold and clean
    D7                                                 G 
The unborn grass lies waiting for it's coat to turn to green
                       G7M            Am 
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
    D7                                               G 
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring. 
 
When I was young, my heart was young then, too 

Anything that it would tell me, thats' the thing that I would do 

But now I feel such emptiness within 

For the thing I want the most in life is the thing that I can't win. 
 
CHORUS: 

Spread your tiny wings and fly away 

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

The one I love forever is untrue 

And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you. 
 
The breeze along the river seems to say 

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

So little snowbird take me with you when you go 

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow. 
 
CHORUS: 
     D7                               C 
Yea! if I could you know that I would fly ...... 
Am7              G
 ..... away with you.
