[Intro 1]
[D][Em][Asus4][Em][Asus4][D][Em][Asus4][Em][Asus4]

[Verse 1]
[D]California maiden,
with your [E]suitcase home
No one [G]owned you, no one [Gm]phoned [Edim]you,
[Gm]you're alone[D]
Free as winter sunshine
through [E]a cloudy sky
Clothes in [Em]tatter[G] s,
nothing [Gm]matters, you'll [D]get by

[Verse 2]
Like a [Em]seagull in the [D]sky,
Lots of [Em]winter birds, way up [D]high
People [Em]try to clip your
[Asus4]wings and[Em] tame you[Asus4]
Oh [D]why, oh why?

[Verse 3]
It's your [Em]life and your living,
it [Gm]don't give a minute [D]away[F#m]
It's your [Em]life and your living,
[G]it [Gm]don't give a minute away
[D]

[Verse 4]
Summer finds you sleeping on
[E]a beach in Cannes
You've had [G]lovers, there'll be [Gm]others,
but there's [D]no one man
Maybe someday you will marry,
[E]but right now you're in no [G]hurry
Got no [Gm]worries [D]anyhow

[Verse 5]
Like [Em]a seagull in the [D]sky
Lots of [Em]winter birds, [Asus4]way up hi[A]gh[D]
People [Em]try to clip your
wings and tame you
[G]Oh [F#m]why, oh w[D]hy?

[Verse 6]
It's your [Em]life and your living,
[G]it don[Gm]'t give a min[Bb]ute awa[D]y[F#m]
It's your [Em]life and your living,
it [Bb]don't give a minute [D]away[E]
It's your [Em]life and your living,
it [Gm]don't give a minute away
[D]

[Verse 7]
[E]
Yeah, yeah
It's your life [Em]an d your living,
it [Gm]don't give a minute [D]away
No, no, no, no
Your life and [E]your living,
it don't give a minute away
