INTRO:  D  G  D  A  D  G  D

She [D]left St. John's one [G]day in May dressed [D]in her Sunday [A]best
A [D]kind man sat be[G]side her and she [D]cried her way out west
She [D]moved in with her [G]cousin found a [D]job down in the [A]mall
Her [D]friends at home were [G]jealous said we'll [D]see you in the fall

But [D]you know that she [A]wants to try
[D]Never lets you [A]see her cry
[D]You know that she [A]wants to try
But [G]she's got [A]seagulls [D]in her eyes

D PEAT INTRO

The [D]people here seem [G]really nice but the [D]winter's way too [A]long
Her [D]new friends don't [G]understand they just [D]tell her to be strong
She [D]made some decent [G]money yeah but [D]nothing comes for [A]free
The [D]busy streets just [G]don't compete with the [D]sky, the rocks, and sea
