Aoife's style has a lot of hammer ons in this song, that gives it a fairly unique tune and affects how you
strum the song. I know some of the tabbed chords aren't exactly the same as they appear in the song chords
I will use a main abbreviation i.e. G6add11 to G6.
The jest of the whole song is as such, Capo on 1st:
C/F Em7/B Am7 G6add11 D/F# Fma13 Cadd9 Dsus2
e | 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B | 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 3

[Verse 1]
C/FSee that gull on the old sea wall
Am7Some birds G6fly and others D/F#fall
D/F# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
Asleep to the beating of their 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# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
Back in the belly from where I came
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# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
My home is in this valley now
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# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
I'll pretend I'm Superman
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# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
Time to lay this body down
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# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
On the sandy beach of the English bay
Then I'll fly Dsus2away, I'll fly aC/Fway
I'll fly Dsus2away, I'll fly aC/Fway
