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. Set8
