Elvis Presley - Snowbird Chords

Elvis - Snowbird


Intro - C - Em - Dm - C


(verse 1)
  C                Em              Dm
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean,
    G
The unborn grass lies waiting,
                        C
for its coat to turn to green,
     C                Em             Dm
The snowbird sings a song he always sings,
     G
And speaks to me of flowers,
                          C
that will bloom again in spring,


(verse 2)
     C              Em                   Dm
When I was young my heart was young then too,
   G
Anything that it would tell me,
                              C
that's the thing that I would do,
    C               Em           Dm
But now I feel such emptiness within,
        G
For the thing that I want most in life,
                     C
Is the thing I can't win,


(chorus)
C                Em             Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
    G
And take the snow back with you,
                            C
Where it came from on that day,
     C             Em        Dm
The one I love forever is untrue,
       G
And if I could you know,
                            C
that I would fly away with you,


(verse 3)
     C                Em             Dm
The breeze along the river seems to say,
      G
That she'll only break my heart again,
                    C
should I decide to stay,
           C                Em                Dm
So little snowbird take me with you when you go,
         G
To that land of gentle breezes,
                          C
where the peaceful waters flow,


(chorus)
 C                Em             Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
     G
And take the snow back with you,
                            C
Where it came from on that day,
     C             Em        Dm
The one I love forever is untrue,
     G
And if I could you know,
                            C
That I would fly away with you,
          G
Yeah, and if I could you know,
             F    G        C
That I would fly away with you,
