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 



[Refrão]
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 




[Refrão]
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
