7 7 -7 -7-6 -6 6 6 4 -4 Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean 6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4 The unborn grass lies waiting -4 5 -5 6 5 -4 3 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 And speaks to me of flowers -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 That will bloom again in Spring. Verses (same tabs) When I was young my heart was young then, to And anyting that it would tell me That's the thing I would do. But now I feel such emptiness within For the think I want the most in life Is the thing I cannot win. Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snobird 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. 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 peacful waters flow. Coda: -7-66 7-7 -7 -6 6 6 -5 6 Yeah, if I could, you know that I would -6 7 7 7 8 Fly away with you. Note: I play the last verse a with a bit more variety and presented here, building to the coda.
