Anne Murray, Snowbird (1970)
^{Key: :[D] (w: Gene MacLellan) (BPM: 104)}

INTRO:
[D] [F#m] [Em] [A] ^[A] [D]

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

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

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

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

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

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