C/FSee that gull on the old sea wall
Am7Some birds G6fly and others D/F#fall
D/F#Asleep to thFmaj13e beating ofEm7 theirCadd9 wings
As wind Dsus2sings, the wind C/Fsings
[Verse 2]
C/FSee that babe at her Em7mother's Am7breast
Am7If I cG6ould I'd take my D/F#rest
D/F#Back in the Fmaj13belly from wEm7here I cCadd9ame
Nobody knows my Dsus2name, knows my C/Fname
[Verse 3]
C/FHalf asleep in a Em7bowl of Am7gruel
Am7No one G6told me life was D/F#cruel
D/F#My home isFmaj13 in this vEm7alley nCadd9ow
And it's burningDsus2 down, it's burning C/Fdown
[Verse 4]
C/FIf I find the Em7fire Am7escape
Am7I'll break the G6wall and put on mD/F#y cape
D/F#I'll prFmaj13etend I'm Em7SupermCadd9an
Where are my friDsus2ends? Where are my frC/Fiends?
[Bridge]
(Instrumental section, everything is a little faster paced
and she hammers on to play a Dm instead of Dsus2)
[Verse 5]
C/FI'm a poor wayfaEm7rer andAm7 I
Am7I got no G6one to dry my D/F#eyes
D/F#Time toFmaj13 lay this bEm7ody doCadd9wn
In the frozen gDsus2round, the frozen gC/Fround
[Verse 6]
C/FWhen I die Lord bEm7ring me bAm7ack
As Am7a snow whiteG6 gull I'll make D/F#my tracks
D/F#On the sandyFmaj13 beach of the EEm7nglish bCadd9ay
Then I'll fly Dsus2away, I'll fly aC/Fway
I'll fly Dsus2away, I'll fly aC/Fway
