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