Seagull, you fly across the horizon;

Into the misty morning sun.

Nobody knows where you are going,

C      G                 D

Nobody knows where you're from.

 

There is a man and he's asking a question:

"Is this really the end of the world?"

Seagull, you must have known for a long time

The shape of things to come.

 

CHORUS:

        D                A    C     G      D

Now you fly, through the sky, never asking why

           D         A          C      G            D [to verse chords]

And you'll fly all around, 'til somebody shoots you down.

C            G     D     C    G      D

Da-da-n-da-n-da-da-dum.  Mmmm-mmmm-mm-mmm-mmm.

 

 

VERSE 1 REPRISE:

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

 

CODA:  [improv over verse vamp as you will...]

Seagull, fly away today.  Fly away, fly away.

Fly to your tomorrow.  Leave me with my sorrow.
