Intro: Dm C Bb C (4x)
Verse
Dm C
On the blue waters of mermaids
Bb C
I was sailing on the blue
Dm C Bb
Brought up a catch of strangest wonder
C
On the blue
Dm C
And I drew my knife to gut
Bb C
What I had taken from the blue
Dm C
But it was gone, back to the lake
Bb C
And vanished into the blue
Bb C
The waters, they parted
Bb C
As she rose to shine
Bb C Dm C
She was my maid, my wife-to-be
Bb C Dm C
Returned to me this one time
Bb C F C Bb
I did not know her, I made her flee
Bb C
Flee from me

Bridge
Bb C Dm C
Beneath the waves and marbled rocks
Bb C Dm C
Watery canyon of blackest depths
Bb C
My hope was sunk
Dm C Bb
My dream taken away
Bb C
Taken away
Dm C Bb C Dm C
Dm C
Woe to you, she said to me
Bb C
As she broke cover of the blue
Dm
Don’t you know me?
C Bb
I couldn’t be yours after all
Bb C
I never knew
Bb C
The waters, they parted
Bb C
As she rose to shine
Bb C Dm C
She was my maid, my wife-to-be
Bb C Dm C
Returned to me this one time
Bb C F C Bb
I did not know her, I made her flee
Bb C
Flee from me
