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