The Mermaid

G Well he heard her singin' all night long Am Cryin' out some lonesome song under the moon G And the wind was low, and he felt as though D G the things she wanted him to know were comin' soon Am And when the tide was high, and the ship was about to leave D G These are the words that carried across the sea Am D G She said, "If you kiss me one time beneath these waves Am D G Then I will show you all of my thousand shapes Am D G and if you kiss me one time beneath these waves Am D G Then I will tell you all of my thousand names Am D La-da-de-la-da-de-ladie-o..." G Well east is east, and west is west Am He found that he could not forget that melody G And at night he'd cry, and pray to keep it D G And wonder if he'd ever sleep enough to dream Am And when at last he was sure that his heart it would never mend D G She called through the night, and sang to the sky again Am D G She said, "If you kiss me one time beneath these waves Am D G Then I will show you all of my thousand shapes Am D G and if you kiss me one time beneath these waves Am D G Then I will tell you all of my thousand names Am D G Am D G Am Yeah, when the tide was high, and and ship was about to leave D G He came to his mind, and threw it into the sea Am D G She said, "If you kiss me one time beneath these waves Am D G Then I will show you all of my thousand shapes Am D G and if you kiss me one time beneath these waves Am D G Then I will tell you all of my thousand names Am D G "OOOOh, and If you kiss me one time beneath these waves Am D G Then I will show you all of your thousand shapes Am D G and if you kiss me one time beneath these waves Am D G Then I will tell you all of your thousand names Am D G La-da-de-la-da-de-ladie-o" (3x)
