G Thinking not of Cbeauty that, G D G C, G D Spreads like morning sun-glow. G Seagull, I don't Cwant your wings, G I don't want your Dfreedom, in a Glie.Verse 5:I Gpray your dreams of Cvivid screams, G D G C, G D Of children dying slowly. And Gas you polish Cup your guns, G D G C, G D Your real self be re-flecting.
