[First Part]

Em             D           G
Why's it never light on my lawn?
            Am             G         Bm          C D D4   D  D4
Why does it rain and never say “Good day” to the newborn?
       Em              D             G
On the big screen they showed us the sun
           Am        G           Bm  C  D D4
But not as bright in life as the real one
           Am        G           Bm  C  D D4  D  D4  B
It's never quite the same as the real one

[Chorus]

            F#
And tell me grey seal
            A             E     B
How does it feel to be so wise?
                F#
To see through eyes
          A          E
That only see what's real
B F# A  E    B    B
Tell me grey seal

[Verse]

        Em              D        G
I never learned why meteors were formed
       Am        G                    Bm C     D  D4  D  D4
I only farmed in schools that were so worn and torn
      Em               D      G
If anyone can cry then so can I
       Am        G         Bm   C   D  D4
I read books and draw life from the eye
       Am      G        Bm   C   D   D4  D  D4  B
All my life is drawings from the eye

[Chorus]

            F#
And tell me grey seal
            A             E     B
How does it feel to be so wise?
                F#
To see through eyes
          A          E
That only see what's real
B F# A  E    B    B
Tell me grey seal

[Verse]

             Em                    D       G
Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
               Am                G
The roots were formed by twisted roots
                Bm C    D  D4  D  D4
Your roots were twisted then
      Em                 D          G
I was re-born before all life could die
            Am                   G        Bm  C  D  D4
The phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
       Am               G        Bm  C  D  D4  D  D4  B
If the phoenix bird can fly then so can I

[Chorus]

            F#
And tell me grey seal
            A             E     B
How does it feel to be so wise?
                F#
To see through eyes
          A          E
That only see what's real
B F# A  E    B    B
Tell me grey seal
