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
