Intro
F Bb F C | F Bb
Verse 1
She left St. Johns one day in May
Dressed in her Sunday best
A kind man sat beside her
As she cried her way out west
Verse 2
She moved in with her cousin
Found a job down in the mall
Her friends at home were jealous
Said, "We'll see you in the fall"
Chorus
But you know that she wants to try
Never let you see her cry
You know that she wants to try
She's got seagulls in her eyes
F Bb F C | F Bb
Verse 3
The people here seem really nice
But the winter's way too long
Her new friends don't understand
They just tell her to be strong
Verse 4
She made some decent money
Yeah, but nothing comes for free
The busy streets just don't compete
With the sky, the rocks and sea
Chorus
Oh, you know that she wants to try
Never let you see her cry
You know that she wants to try
She's got seagulls in her eyes
(simplified: F Bb F C | F Bb | F C F F F)
Verse 5
Her parents came at Easter time
And wanted her to stay
But she went and got a panel-van
And moved home on her birthday
Verse 6
The girls in town all said
She couldn't make it on her own
Now the sky's a little smaller
And it doesn't seem like home
Chorus
But you know that she wants to try
Never let you see her cry
You know that she wants to try
She's got seagulls in her eyes
Ah, you know that she wants to try
Never let you see her cry
You know that she wants to try
She's got seagulls in her eyes
[Outro] (same rhythm as intro)
She's got seagulls in her eyes
