Basic three chords. Try the key of D. The chords are D, G and A.

If that's no help I'll c/p the words and do it on that. Lemme know. Or if you'd prefer another key, say so :-)

DAD If I was a (A)seagull, high and a(D)loof
I'd sail to (A)your house, perch on your (D)roof (Dsus4, D)
But I ain't a (A)seagull, you know my (D)name
And the winds blow (A)fortune, winds blow (D)pain

And (G)so it (A)goes, nobody (D)knows
How to get to the (A)sky
How to get to the (D)sky (A, D)

Waits is using a finger picking and in it he pops in runs leading from one chord to the other, but you'll pick that up soon enough. If you don't know what a sus 4 is that's ok. It'll come. Best of luck to you. (Nice song btw. Never heard it before. Many thanks.)
