A long time ago in sixty seven
F#m E
A little boy was running on the Beach
D F#m
When all of a sudden he heard a plaintive cry
A E A
So near yet so far out of reach.
A D A
He looked behind a rock so tall
F#m E
And there before his eyes
D F#m
Was an oil soaked seagull lying there
A E A
Windswept with pain in his eyes.
D E A
And the seagull?s name was Nelson
D E A
Nelson who came from the sea
D E A
And the seagull?s name was Nelson
D E A
Nelson the seagull free
A D A
He fed that seagull limpets small
F#m E
Until the bird could fly
D F#m
And when he thought it was so he let little Nelson go
A E A
And he flew above his head up in the sky.
D E A
And the seagull?s name was Nelson
D E A
Nelson who came from the sea
D E A
And the seagull?s name was Nelson
D E A
Nelson the seagull free
A D A
The time had come for the boy to go
F#m E
And sadness was in their eyes
D F#m
But it?s not for you to criticise
A E A
If you?ve never seen a seagull cry
D E A
And the seagull?s name was Nelson
D E A
Nelson who came from the sea
D E A
And the seagull?s name was Nelson
D E A
Nelson the seagull free
