Verse
D
When I was a lad in a fishing town
G D
Me old man said to me:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/great_big_sea/mermaid_crd_ver_2.html ]
"You can spend your life, your jolly life
Bm A
Just sailing on the sea.
D
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
