Anne Murray, Snowbird (1970)
^{Key: :[F] (w: Gene MacLellan) (BPM: 104)}

INTRO:
[F] [Am] [Gm] [C] ^[C] [F]

VERSE 1:
Be-[F]-neath it's snowy [Am] mantle cold and [Gm] clean
The [C] unborn grass lies waiting for its ^[C] coat to turn to [F] green
The [F] snowbird sings the [Am] song he always [Gm] sings
And [C] speaks to me of flowers that will ^[C] bloom again in [F] spring

VERSE 2:
When [F] I was young my [Am] heart was young then, [Gm] too
And [C] anything that it would tell me, that's the ^[C] thing that I would [F] do
But [F] now I feel such [Am] emptiness with [Gm] in
For the [C] thing that I want most in life's the ^[C] thing that I can't [F] win

CHORUS:
[F] Spread your tiny [Am] wings and fly a-[Gm]-way
And [C] take the snow back with you where it ^[C] came from on that [F] day
The [F] one I love for-[Am]-ever is un-[Gm]-true
And [C] if I could you know that I would ^[C] fly away with [F] you

VERSE 3:
The [F] breeze along the [Am] river seems to [Gm] say
That he'll [C] only break my heart again should ^[C] I decide to [F] stay
So, little [F] snowbird, take me [Am] with you when you [Gm] go
To that [C] land of gentle breezes where the ^[C] peaceful waters [F] flow

CHORUS:
[F] Spread your tiny [Am] wings and fly a-[Gm]-way
And [C] take the snow back with you where it ^[C] came from on that [F] day
The [F] one I love for-[Am]-ever is un-[Gm]-true
And [C] if I could you know that I would ^[C] fly away with [F] you

OUTRO:
Yeah, [C] if I could I know that I would [A#] fly-y-y-y ^[/A] [Gm]
Away with [F] you [F open]
