Snow Bird

C                  Em              Dm
 7  7   -7   -7 -6 -6  6   6    4   -4
Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean
    G7
 6  6  -5   -5    5    5  -4
The unborn grass lies waiting 
                        C
-4  5   -5    6  5   -4   3
For its coat to turn to green.

 7    7  -7   -7    
The snowbird sings 
    Em             Dm
-6  -6    6 6  4    -4
the song he always sings
    G7     
 6    6    -5 -5 5    5 -4
And speaks to me of flowers
                         C
 -4   5    -5  -5  5  -4   4
That will bloom again in Spring.

When I was young my heart was young then, too
And anyting that it would tell me
That's the thing I would do.
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the think I want the most in life
Is the thing I cannot win.

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snobird back with you
Where it came from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could I know I would fly away with you.

The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again
Should I decide to stay.
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes
Where the peacful waters flow.

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snobird back with you
Where it came from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could I know I would fly away with you.

End With:
      G7  
-7-66  7-7  -7    -6   6     6 -5   6
Yeah, if I could, you know that I would
              C
-6  7 7   7   8
Fly away with you.
