Mermaid

"The Mermaid" by Great Big Sea

Verse

When I was a lad in a fishing town

G D

Me old man said to me:

"You can spend your life, your jolly life

Bm A

Just sailing on the sea.

You can search the world for pretty girls

G F#m

Til your eyes are weak and dim,

G D Bm

But don't go searching for a mermaid, son

G A D

If you don't know how to swim"

Chorus

G D

'Cause her hair was green as seaweed

G D

Her skin was blue and pale

G D

Her face it was a work of art,

G D

I loved that girl with all my heart

G D Bm

But I only liked the upper part

G A D

I did not like the tail
