Be
G
neath this snowy 

mantle cold and 
Am
clean

The 
D
unborn grass lies 

waiting for its 

coat to turn to 
G
green

The 
G
snowbird sings the 

song he always 
Am
sings

And 
D
speaks to me of 

flowers that will 

bloom again in 
G
spring.

When 
G
I was young, my 

heart was young then, 
Am
too

Any
D
thing that it would 

tell me, that’s the 

thing that I would 
G
do

But 
G
now I feel such 

emptiness with
Am
in

For the 
D
thing I want the 

most in life is the 

thing that I can't 
G
win.

	
G
Spread your tiny 

wings and fly a
Am
way

	And 
D
take the snow back 

with you where it 

came from on that 
G
day

	The 
G
one I love for

ever is un
Am
true

	And 
D
if I could, you 

know that I would f

ly away with 
G
you.

The 
G
breeze along the 

river seems to 
Am
say

That he'll 
D
only break my 

heart again should 

I decide to 
G
stay

So little 
G
snowbird take me 

with you when you 
Am
go

To that 
D
land of gentle 

breezes where the 

peaceful waters 
G
flow.

repeat chorus

Yea! 
D7
If I could you 
C
know that I would 
Am
fly ...... 

 
Am

away with 
G
you.
