Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:

C Bb C Bb

Verse 1:

 C         Bb
Fly silly seabird
   C           Bb
No dreams can possess you
   C            Bb
No voices can blame you
    Bbm         Gm
For sun on your wings
    C         Bb
My gentle relations
     C                 Bb
Have names they must call me
     C          Bb
For loving the freedom
                    C
Of all flying things
                        Bb
My dreams with the seagulls fly
        Cm           F    C
Out of reach out of cry

Verse 2:

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

Verse 3:

             Bb
Out of the city
     C            Bb
And down to the seaside
     C          Bb
To sun on my shoulders
     Bbm         Gm
And wind in my hair
      C            Bb
But sandcastles crumble
     C          Bb
And hunger is human
      C          Bb
And humans are hungry
                           C
For worlds they can't share
                       Bb
My dreams with the seagulls fly
        Cm
Out of reach
          F C
Out of cry

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