Snowbird — Anne Murray
Chords and lyrics for Snowbird by Anne Murray (key of A).
Verse 1
Snowbird:Anne Murray.
#1 in 1970.
[A] [C#m] [Bm] [E7] [A]
#1.
[A]Beneath this snowy [C#m]mantle cold and [Bm]clean,
the [E]unborn grass lies waiting for it's [E7]coat to turn to [A]green.
The [A]snowbird sings the [C#m]song he always [Bm]sings,
and [E]speaks to me of flowers that will [E7]bloom again in [A]spring.
#2.
When [A]I was young, my [C#m]heart was young then, [Bm]too,
[E]anything that it would tell me, that's the [E7]thing that I would [A]do.
But [A]now I feel such [C#m]emptiness [Bm]within..
for the [E]thing that I want most in life is the [E7]thing that I can't [A]win.
Chorus
[A]Spread your tiny [C#m]wings and fly [Bm]away,
and [E]take the snow back with you where it [E7]came from on that [A]day.
The [A]one I love [C#m]forever is [Bm]untrue,
and [E]if I could, you know that I would [E7]fly away with [A]you.
#3.
The [A]breeze along the [C#m]river seems to [Bm]say,
that he'll [E]only break my heart again should [E7]I decide to [A]stay.
So, little [A]snowbird, take me [C#m]with you when you [Bm]go,
to that [E]land of gentle breezes where the [E7]peaceful waters [A]flow.
Chorus
[A]Spread your tiny [C#m]wings and fly [Bm]away,
and [E]take the snow back with you where it [E7]came from on that [A]day.
The [A]one I love [C#m]forever is [Bm]untrue,
and [E]if I could, you know that I would [E7]fly away with [A]you.
Outro
Yeah, if [E]I could you know that I would [D][Bm]fly.y.y.y...a..way with [A]you.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
