Mermaid Great Big Sea

[D]When I was a lad in a fishing town

Me ol[G]d man said to me: [D]

"You can spend your life, your jolly life

Just sa[Bm]iling on the sea.[A]

You can searc[D]h the world for pretty girls

Til your eye[G]s are weak and dim, [F#m]

But do[G]n't go searching for a mermaid, so[D]n [Bm]

If you don[G]'t know how to s[A]wim" [D]

Chorus

[G]'Cause her hair was green as seaweed [D]

Her ski[G]n was blue and pale [D]

Her fac[G]e it was a work of[D] art,

I [G]loved that girl with all my [D]heart

But I on[G]ly liked the upper p[D]art [Bm]

I d[G]id not lik[A]e the tail[D]
