C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb

Verse 1:

 C majorC     Bb majorBb
Fly silly seabird
  C majorC      Bb majorBb
No dreams can possess you
  C majorC      Bb majorBb
No voices can blame you
  BbmBbm     G minorGm
For sun on your wings
  C majorC     Bb majorBb
My gentle relations
   C majorC         Bb majorBb
Have names they must call me
   C majorC     Bb majorBb
For loving the freedom
          C majorC
Of all flying things
            Bb majorBb
My dreams with the seagulls fly
    C minorCm      FF  C majorC
Out of reach out of cry

Verse 2:

  C majorC      Bb majorBb
I came to the city
   C majorC        Bb majorBb
And lived like old Crusoe
    C majorC     Bb majorBb
On an island of noise
   BbmBbm     G minorGm
In a cobblestone sea
    C majorC       Bb majorBb
And the beaches were concrete
      C majorC      Bb majorBb
And the stars paid a light bill
      C majorC      Bb majorBb
And the blossoms hung false
              C majorC
On their store window trees
           Bb majorBb
My dreams with the seagulls fly
    C minorCm      FF C majorC
Out of reach out of cry

Verse 3:

       Bb majorBb
Out of the city
   C majorC      Bb majorBb
And down to the seaside
   C majorC     Bb majorBb
To sun on my shoulders
   BbmBbm     G minorGm
And wind in my hair
   C majorC      Bb majorBb
But sandcastles crumble
   C majorC     Bb majorBb
And hunger is human
   C majorC     Bb majorBb
And humans are hungry
              C majorC
For worlds they can't share
            Bb majorBb
My dreams with the seagulls fly
    C minorCm
Out of reach
     FF C majorC
Out of cry

Verse 4:
  C majorC     Bb majorBb
I call to a seagull
   C majorC       Bb majorBb
Who dives to the waters
    C majorC      Bb majorBb
And catches his silver-fine
 BbmBbm   G minorGm
Dinner alone
     C majorC       Bb majorBb
Crying where are the footprints
    C majorC        Bb majorBb
That danced on these beaches
     C majorC        Bb majorBb
And the hands that cast wishes
           C majorC
That sunk like a stone
           Bb majorBb
My dreams with the seagulls fly
    C minorCm
Out of reach
    FF C majorC
Out of cry
