The Seabird. A captivating tune heard in the movie "Some Mother's Son".
[Verse 1]
C G
I dream of a seabird
F C G
As it opens its wings to the gale
C G
And as it soars o'er the Island
F C G
It follows the wake of my trail
Bb G
And when the dark night falls
Bb C G
And the grey mists surround me
C G
My heart is a small boat
F C G
Your love is its sail
[Chorus]
A D A E
And I'll sing of all the love I have for you
A D A E
And I'll bear with all the pain you want me to
F#m D
For whichever way we may go
F#m D
And no matter what winds may blow
D E A E A
It's our nature that binds your heart to me
[Verse 2]
C G
Oh, my hope is for freedom
F C G
And it rises and falls on the tide
C G
And as I sail on the ocean
F C G
I have one warm secret inside
Bb G
When the west winds blow
Bb C G
And the white waves are foaming
C G
My heart is a small boat
F C G
Your smile is the shore
[Chorus]
A D A E
I will sing of all the love I have for you
A D A E
And I'll bear with all the pain you want me to
F#m D
For whichever way we may go
F#m D
And no matter which winds may blow
D E A E A
It's our nature that binds your heart to me
