Anne Murray, Snowbird (1970)
Key: :[C#] (w: Gene MacLellan) (BPM: 104)
INTRO:
[C#] [Fm] [D#m] [G#] ^
[G#] [C#]
VERSE 1:
Be-
[C#]-neath it's snowy
[Fm] mantle cold and
[D#m] clean
The
[G#] unborn grass lies waiting for its ^
[G#] coat to turn to
[C#] green
The
[C#] snowbird sings the
[Fm] song he always
[D#m] sings
And
[G#] speaks to me of flowers that will ^
[G#] bloom again in
[C#] spring
VERSE 2:
When
[C#] I was young my
[Fm] heart was young then,
[D#m] 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
[Fm] emptiness with
[D#m] 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
[Fm] wings and fly a-
[D#m]-way
And
[G#] take the snow back with you where it ^
[G#] came from on that
[C#] day
The
[C#] one I love for-
[Fm]-ever is un-
[D#m]-true
And
[G#] if I could you know that I would ^
[G#] fly away with
[C#] you
VERSE 3:
The
[C#] breeze along the
[Fm] river seems to
[D#m] say
That he'll
[G#] only break my heart again should ^
[G#] I decide to
[C#] stay
So, little
[C#] snowbird, take me
[Fm] with you when you
[D#m] go
To that
[G#] land of gentle breezes where the ^
[G#] peaceful waters
[C#] flow
CHORUS:
[C#] Spread your tiny
[Fm] wings and fly a-
[D#m]-way
And
[G#] take the snow back with you where it ^
[G#] came from on that
[C#] day
The
[C#] one I love for-
[Fm]-ever is un-
[D#m]-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 ^
[/F] [D#m]
Away with
[C#] you
[C# open]
