Snowbird

	  		Intro - C - Em - Dm - C 
 
 
(verse 1) 
  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, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
     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,
 
 
 
(verse 3) 
     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,
