Dsus2
Seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
Am7FG6
See us go, as they go, across the borderlines
[Verse 1]
Dsus2F
I can feel the fear hang heavy on the water
G6Dsus2
Glinting sharply with the pale moonlight
Dsus2F
Mothers hold on tightly to your children
G6Dsus2
As the waves are breaking violently tonight
Dsus2
[Chorus 2]
Dsus2
Seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
Am7G6
Can we go, as they go, across the borderlines?
Dsus2
[Verse 2]
Dsus2F
I hear yelling, I hear crying, I hear praying
G6Dmsus
As the ocean threatens us on all four sides
Dsus2F
The water rises deeper every minute
G6Dsus2
This vessel cannot bear the burden of our load
[Chorus 2]
Dsus2
Seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
Am7G6
Can we go, as they go, across the borderlines?
Dsus2
[Verse 3]
Dsus2F
One by one the children have grown silent
G6Dsus2
From their mother’s arms, they float away
Dsus2F
The roaring sea will wash our quiet bodies
G6Dmsus
Upon the foreign shore, but our souls will find a way
[Chorus 3]
Dsus2
And with seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
A7G6
See us go, as they go, across the borderlines
[Chorus] X5
Dsus2
Seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
A7G6
See us go, as they go, across the borderlines
Dsus2
Seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
A7G6
See us go, as they go, across the borderlines
Dsus2
Seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
A7G6
See us go, as they go, across the borderlines
Dsus2
Seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
A7G6
See us go, as they go, across the borderlines
Dsus2
Seabirds fly the salty wind
East to South – North to West
A7G6
See us go, as they go, across the borderlines
