CAPO 4th FRET

(Original Key: B)

Intro:

G C, G D (x4)

Verse 1:

Walk along and talk along,
G D G C, G D
And live your lives quite freely.

But leave our children with their toys,
G D G C, G D
Of peppermint and candy.

For seagull, I don’t want your wings,
I don’t want your freedom, in a lie.

Verse 2:

Your thoughts they are of harlequin,
G D G C, G D
Your speeches of quick-silver.

I read your faces like a poem,
G D G C, G D
Ka-leidoscope of hate words.

For seagull, I don’t want your wings,
I don’t want your freedom, in a lie.

Verse 3:

On the quilted battle-fields of soldiers,
G D G C, G D
Dazzling made of toy tin.

The big bomb, like a child’s hand,
G D G C, G D
Could sweep them dead just so to win.

For seagull, I don’t want your wings,
I don’t want your freedom, in a lie.

Verse 4:

As you fill your glasses,
G D G C, G D
With the wine of murdered Negroes.

Thinking not of beauty that,
G D G C, G D
Spreads like morning sun-glow.

Seagull, I don’t want your wings,
I don’t want your freedom, in a lie.

Verse 5:

I pray your dreams of vivid screams,
G D G C, G D
Of children dying slowly.

And as you polish up your guns,
G D G C, G D
Your real self be re-flecting.

For seagull, I don’t want your wings,
I don’t want your freedom, in a lie.

Interlude:

G C, G D (x4)

Verse 6:

Vietnam; your latest game,
G D G C, G D
You’re playing with your blackest Queen.

Damn your souls and curse your grins,
G D G C, G D
I stand here with a fading dream.

For seagull, I don’t want your wings,
I don’t want your freedom, in a lie.

Outro:

G C, G D (x8), G
