Aoife's style has a lot of hammer ons in this song, that gives it a fairly unique tune and affects how you
strum the song. I know some of the tabbed chords aren't exactly the same as they appear in the song chords
I will use a main abbreviation i.e. G6add11 to G6.
The jest of the whole song is as such, Capo on 1st:
C/F Em7/B Am7 G6add11 D/F# Fma13 Cadd9 Dsus2
e | 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B | 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 3
G | 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 2
D | 3 0 0h2 0 0 0 0h2p0 0
A | 0 0h2 0 2 0 0 3 x
E | x 0 x 3 2 1 0 x
[Verse 1]
C/F
See that gull on the old sea wall
Am7 G6 D/F#
Some birds fly and others fall
D/F# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
Asleep to the beating of their wings
Dsus2 C/F
As wind sings, the wind sings
[Verse 2]
C/F Em7 Am7
See that babe at her mother's breast
Am7 G6 D/F#
If I could I'd take my rest
D/F# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
Back in the belly from where I came
Dsus2 C/F
Nobody knows my name, knows my name
[Verse 3]
C/F Em7 Am7
Half asleep in a bowl of gruel
Am7 G6 D/F#
No one told me life was cruel
D/F# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
My home is in this valley now
Dsus2 C/F
And it's burning down, it's burning down
[Verse 4]
C/F Em7 Am7
If I find the fire escape
Am7 G6 D/F#
I'll break the wall and put on my cape
D/F# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
I'll pretend I'm Superman
Dsus2 C/F
Where are my friends? Where are my friends?
[Bridge]
(Instrumental section, everything is a little faster paced
and she hammers on to play a Dm instead of Dsus2)
[Verse 5]
C/F Em7 Am7
I'm a poor wayfarer and I
Am7 G6 D/F#
I got no one to dry my eyes
D/F# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
Time to lay this body down
Dsus2 C/F
In the frozen ground, the frozen ground
[Verse 6]
C/F Em7 Am7
When I die Lord bring me back
Am7 G6 D/F#
As a snow white gull I'll make my tracks
D/F# Fma13 - Em7 - Cadd9
On the sandy beach of the English bay
Dsus2 C/F
Then I'll fly away, I'll fly away
Dsus2 C/F
I'll fly away, I'll fly away
