Beat-up little seagull,

Tryin' to find the ocean;
Em G A7 C
Lookin' every-where.

Verse 2:

Em G
Hard times in the city,
A7 C Em G A7 C
In a hard town by the sea.
Em G
Ain't nowhere to run to,
A7 C Em G A7 C
There ain't nothin' here for free.

Verse 3:

Em G A7 C
Hooker on the corner,
Em G A7 C
Waitin' for a train.
Em G A7 C
Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk,
Em G A7 C
Sleepin' in the rain.

Verse 3:

Em G A7 C
And they hide their faces,
Em G A7 C
And they hide their eyes.
Em G A7 C
'Cos the city's dyin',
Em G A7 C
And they don't know why.

Get my sister Sandy,
C Em G A7 C
And my little brother Ray.

Buy a big old wagon,

To haul us all a-way.

Verse 5:

Em G A7 C
Live out in the country,

Where the mountain's high.

Never comin' back there,

'Till the day I die.
