Anne Murray, Snowbird (1970)
Key: :[B] (w: Gene MacLellan) (BPM: 104)
INTRO:
[B] [D#m] [C#m] [F#] ^
[F#] [B]
VERSE 1:
Be-
[B]-neath it's snowy
[D#m] mantle cold and
[C#m] clean
The
[F#] unborn grass lies waiting for its ^
[F#] coat to turn to
[B] green
The
[B] snowbird sings the
[D#m] song he always
[C#m] sings
And
[F#] speaks to me of flowers that will ^
[F#] bloom again in
[B] spring
VERSE 2:
When
[B] I was young my
[D#m] heart was young then,
[C#m] too
And
[F#] anything that it would tell me, that's the ^
[F#] thing that I would
[B] do
But
[B] now I feel such
[D#m] emptiness with
[C#m] in
For the
[F#] thing that I want most in life's the ^
[F#] thing that I can't
[B] win
CHORUS:
[B] Spread your tiny
[D#m] wings and fly a-
[C#m]-way
And
[F#] take the snow back with you where it ^
[F#] came from on that
[B] day
The
[B] one I love for-
[D#m]-ever is un-
[C#m]-true
And
[F#] if I could you know that I would ^
[F#] fly away with
[B] you
VERSE 3:
The
[B] breeze along the
[D#m] river seems to
[C#m] say
That he'll
[F#] only break my heart again should ^
[F#] I decide to
[B] stay
So, little
[B] snowbird, take me
[D#m] with you when you
[C#m] go
To that
[F#] land of gentle breezes where the ^
[F#] peaceful waters
[B] flow
CHORUS:
[B] Spread your tiny
[D#m] wings and fly a-
[C#m]-way
And
[F#] take the snow back with you where it ^
[F#] came from on that
[B] day
The
[B] one I love for-
[D#m]-ever is un-
[C#m]-true
And
[F#] if I could you know that I would ^
[F#] fly away with
[B] you
OUTRO:
Yeah,
[F#] if I could I know that I would
[E] fly-y-y-y ^
[/D#] [C#m]
Away with
[B] you
