Song to a Young Seagull
Gene MacLellan (Demo)

Verse:
D MajorD
Don't let your Mama love you too long
             G+G
It’ll make you weak instead of strong, what’s right just might be wrong
               D MajorD
And what looks good ain't always best,
             A augmentedA                        G+G
And when it’s time to leave the nest, if you fail to pass the test
                                      D MajorD
You’ll be just like all the rest and you’ll be sorry.

D MajorD
Don't let your Mama feed you too much
          G+G
She might get you in her clutches and be just a pair of crutches
          D MajorD
That you’ll have to throw away
          A augmentedA                  G+G
And then one sad day when your hair has turned to grey
                                      D MajorD
You’ll remember what I said and you’ll be sorry

Chorus:
G+G
Now’s the time time to go before the cold wind starts to blow
      D MajorD
In any further into your bones
G+G
Now’s the time to know if you’ve got half the strength you show
            A augmentedA
You’ll surely make it, all on your own

D MajorD
Don't let your Mama catch you giving in
      G+G
If you wait for too much longer, those old apron strings get stronger
         D MajorD
Than the feeling of your sins
        A augmentedA                   G+G
And the one you idolize won't be there to dry your eyes
                                    D MajorD
She be somewhere in the skies without worry

Chorus:
G+G
Now’s the time time to go before the cold wind starts to blow
      D MajorD
In any further into your bones
G+G
Now’s the time to know if you’ve got half the strength you show
            A augmentedA
You’ll surely make it, all on your own

D MajorD
Don't let your Mama catch you giving in
      G+G
If you wait for too much longer, those old apron strings get stronger
         D MajorD
Than the feeling of your sins
        A augmentedA                   G+G
And the one you idolize won't be there to dry your eyes
