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
