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

INTRO:
[G] [Bm] [Am] [D] ^[D] [G]

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

VERSE 2:
When [G] I was young my [Bm] heart was young then, [Am] 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 [Bm] emptiness with [Am] 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 [Bm] wings and fly a-[Am]-way
And [D] take the snow back with you where it ^[D] came from on that [G] day
The [G] one I love for-[Bm]-ever is un-[Am]-true
And [D] if I could you know that I would ^[D] fly away with [G] you

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

CHORUS:
[G] Spread your tiny [Bm] wings and fly a-[Am]-way
And [D] take the snow back with you where it ^[D] came from on that [G] day
The [G] one I love for-[Bm]-ever is un-[Am]-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 ^[/B] [Am]
Away with [G] you [G open]
