INTRO:
[E] [G#m] [F#m] [B] ^[B] [E]

VERSE 1:
Be-[E]-neath it's snowy [G#m] mantle cold and [F#m] clean
The [B] unborn grass lies waiting for its ^[B] coat to turn to [E] green
The [E] snowbird sings the [G#m] song he always [F#m] sings
And [B] speaks to me of flowers that will ^[B] bloom again in [E] spring

VERSE 2:
When [E] I was young my [G#m] heart was young then, [F#m] too
And [B] anything that it would tell me, that's the ^[B] thing that I would [E] do
But [E] now I feel such [G#m] emptiness with [F#m] in
For the [B] thing that I want most in life's the ^[B] thing that I can't [E] win

CHORUS:
[E] Spread your tiny [G#m] wings and fly a-[F#m]-way
And [B] take the snow back with you where it ^[B] came from on that [E] day
The [E] one I love for-[G#m]-ever is un-[F#m]-true
And [B] if I could you know that I would ^[B] fly away with [E] you

VERSE 3:
The [E] breeze along the [G#m] river seems to [F#m] say
That he'll [B] only break my heart again should ^[B] I decide to [E] stay
So, little [E] snowbird, take me [G#m] with you when you [F#m] go
To that [B] land of gentle breezes where the ^[B] peaceful waters [E] flow

CHORUS:
[E] Spread your tiny [G#m] wings and fly a-[F#m]-way
And [B] take the snow back with you where it ^[B] came from on that [E] day
The [E] one I love for-[G#m]-ever is un-[F#m]-true
And [B] if I could you know that I would ^[B] fly away with [E] you

OUTRO:
Yeah, [B] if I could I know that I would [A] fly-y-y-y ^[/G#] [F#m]
Away with [E] you [E open]
