The Mermaid Song chords

[VERSE 1]
Well, [C]I was a lad in a fishin town, an [F]Old Man said to [C]me.
You can [C]spend your life, your jolly life just sa[G]ilin on the sea.
You can [C]search the world for Pretty girls, Till [F]your eyes are weak and dim.
But [C]don’t go swimming with a mermaid son, if you [G]don’t know how to [C]swim.

[CHORUS]
Cause her [F]hair is green as [C]seaweed. And her [F]skin is blue and [C]pale.
I’ll [F]tell you now b[C]efore you start, You can [F]love that girl with [C]all your heart.
But you’re [C]only gonna l[G]ove the u[C]pper [F]part, (Pause) You’re [C]not gonna [G]like the t[C]ail.

[VERSE 2]
So I s[C]igned on with a whaling ship and the very [F]first day at sea[C] .
I see[C]n a mermaid in the waves she was reachin[G]g out to me.
Come liv[C]e with me in the sea said she and down o[F]n the oceans floor.
I’ll sho[C]w you a million wondrous things, you never [G]seen before. [C]

[VERSE 3]
So over [C]I jumped and she pulled me down, Down to her sea[F]weed bed. [C]
And a pillow[C] made of tortoise shells she placed [G]beneath my head.
She fed m[C]e shrimps and caviar, upon a silver [F]dish.
[C] [G] [C] *Wrinkle Nose*
From her head to her waist she was just my taste, But the rest of her was a fiiiish.

[CHORUS]
Yeah, her [F]hair is green as [C]seaweed. And her [F]skin is blue and [C]pale.
And h[F]er face it was[C] a work of art, And I lov[F]ed that girl with al[C]l my heart.
But I [C]only lo[G]ved the u[C]pper [F]part, (Pause) I [C]did not l[G]ike the ta[C]il.

[VERSE 4]
Th[C]en one day she swam away, and I sang t[F]o the clams and whales. [C]
I mis[C]sed her fins and her seaweed hair and the silver[G]y shine of her scales.
The[C]n her sister she swam by, and set [F]my heart a whirl. [C]
Cause the upper[C] part was an ugly fish bu[F]t the bottom part wa[G]s girl. YEAHHH [C]

[CHORUS]
Her toes w[F]ere pink and rose[C]y. And her knees [F]were smooth and p[C]ale.
And h[F]er legs they a[C]re a work of art, and I l[F]ove that girl with a[C]ll my heart.
I d[C]on’t give a [G]hoot about the [C]upper [F]part, (Pause) And t[C]hat’s how I[G]’ll end my t[C]ail. [G] [C]
