E A
verse 1
E
If I was a seagull,
A
High and aloof
E
I'd sail to your house,
A
And perch on your roof
E
But I ain't a seagull,
A
You know my name
E
And the winds blow fortune
A
The winds blow pain
D E A
And so it goes, nobody knows
E
How to get to the sky
A
How to get to the sky
E A
verse 2
E A
If I was a puppy dog, in the early dawn
E
I'd make it to your house,
A
And sleep on your lawn
E
But I ain't a puppy dog,
A
You know my name
E
And the winds blowin' fortune
A
The winds blow pain
D E A
And so it goes, nobody knows
E A
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
E A
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
