Snowbird
Anne Murray

            
 7  7    -7  -7 -6  -6 6   6    4   -4
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean.
 6   6 -5   -5     5   5  -4   -4   5   -5  6   5   -4   3
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.
 7   7  -7    -7   -6  -6   6  6  4    -4
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
 6    6    -5 -5  5  5 -4    -4    5   -5  -5  5  -4    4
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in Spring.

Verse 2: (same tabs)
When I was young my heart was young then, to
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing I would do.
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing I want the most in life is the thing I cannot win.

Verse 3: (same tabs)
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snowbird back with you where it came from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could I know I would fly away with you.

Verse 4: (same tabs)
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.

Verse 3: (repeated - Same tabs)
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snowbird back with you where it came from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could I know I would fly away with you.

Coda:

Yeah, if I could, you know that I would
-6 -7 7 -8 8    7  7   7   8
Fl  y y  y y    away with you.
