The Mermaid
Intro D A D G D A D
D G D 1.When I was a lad in a fishing town Me old man said to me 2.I signed onto a sailing ship My very first daY at sea 3.So over I jumped and she pulled me down Down to her seaweed bed
Bm A 1.You can spend your life, your jolly life Just sailing on the sea 2.I seen a mermaid in the waves a-reaching out to me 3.And a pillow made of a tortoise shell She placed beneath my head
D G F#m 1.You can search the world for pretty girls til your eyes are weak and dim 2. Come live with me in the sea, said she Down on the ocean floor 3.She fed me shrimp and caviar Upon a silver dish
G D G A D 1.But don't go searching for a mermaid, son If you don't know how to swim 2.And I'll show you a million wondrous things You've never seen before
3.From her head to her waist It was just my taste But the rest of her was a fish
CHORUS
G D G D 'Cause her hair was green as seaweed Ber skin was blue and pale
G D G D Ber face it was a work of art I love that girl with all my heart
G D Bm G A D But I only like the upper part I did not like the tail
D G D
4.But then one day she swam away So I sang to the clams and the whales
Bm A
4.Oh, how I miss her seaweed hair And the silver shine of her scales
D G F#m (pause)
4.But then her sister, she swam by and set my heart awhirl
G D G A D
4.'Cause her upper part was an ugly fish But her bottom part was a girl
G D G D
Yes her hair was green as seaweed Her skin was blue and pale
G D G D
Her legs they are a work of art I love that girl with all my heart
G D G A D
And I don't give a damn about the upper part 'Cause that's how I get my tail
