Chords for Aoife O'Donovan - Stanley Park - Live at McCabe's

[Db] And I was in Vancouver _ _ this past winter
and [Bbm] went on this crazy long run around [Db] Stanley Park.
Have you guys ever been [Gb] there?
So beautiful.
_ And _ it was just one of those crazy cold [Db] Northwest days.
It was like 18 degrees.
_ _ But the sky was _ blue, not a single cloud in the whole sky.
And [B] I was running around this area
and _ kind of came to where the sun was hitting the wall.
And there was this one lone seagull.
There was nobody else on the path, literally the entire run,
because it was so cold.
_ _ But just this one seagull just sitting on the wall.
And it just looked so lonesome.
[Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ And I wrote this song.
It's called Stanley [Db] Park.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ See that gull on the [Db] old _ seawall. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Some [Ab] birds fly and [Eb] others fall _ _ [Ebm] asleep
to the [Db]
beating of their wing.
_ _ The [Eb] wind _ _ sings.
The [Db] wind _ sings.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ See that [Bbm] babe at her mother's breast. _ _ _
If [Ab] I could, I'd take [Eb] my rest.
_ _ Back in the belly [Bbm] from [Db] where I came,
_ nobody knows [Eb] my _ name, knows my [Gb] name.
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ For [Bbm] sleeping a bowl of goo. _ _ _
_ No [Ab] one sold me a life [Eb] worth goo.
_ _ My home is in [Db] this valley now.
But it's burning [Eb] down, _ _ _ [Db] burning down.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Gb] If I [Bbm] find a fire escape, _ _ _ I'll break [Ab] the wall
[Db] and put on [Eb] my cape.
_ _ I'll pretend [Bbm] [Db] I'm Superman.
_ _ _ Where are [Eb] my _ friends?
Where are my [Db] friends? _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [Eb] I'm [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ a poor _
[Ab] _ [Bbm] wayfarer. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ To dry [Eb] my eyes.
_ _ Time to [Db] lay this body _ down in the frozen [Eb] ground,
_ _ [Gb] frozen _
[Db] ground. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] When I die, Lord, bring me _ back.
There's a [Ab] snow white goat.
I'll [Eb] make my tracks on a [Ebm] sandy beach of the [F] [Db] English bay.
_ Then I'll [Eb] fly away, _ _ _ [Gb] fly [Bbm] away. _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ I'll [Eb] fly away, _ _ fly [Db] _
away.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
