[Verse]
Cm A#
On the blue waters of mermaids
Ab A#
I was sailing on the blue
Cm A# Ab
Brought up a catch of strangest wonder
A#
On the blue
Cm A#
And I drew my knife to gut
Ab A#
What I had taken from the blue
Cm A#
But it was gone, back to the lake
Ab A#
And vanished into the blue
Ab A#
The waters, they parted
Ab A#
As she rose to shine
[Chorus]
Ab A# Cm A#
She was my maid, my wife-to-be
Ab A# Cm A#
Returned to me this one time
Ab A# D# A# Ab
I did not know her, I made her flee
Ab A#
Flee from me
[Instrumental]
Cm A# Ab A# 2x
[Bridge]
Ab A# Cm A#
Beneath the waves and marbled rocks
Ab A# Cm A#
Watery canyon of blackest depths
Ab A#
My hope was sunk
Cm A# Ab
My dream taken away
Ab A#
Taken away
Cm A# Ab A# Cm A#
Cm A#
Woe to you, she said to me
Ab A#
As she broke cover of the blue
Cm
Don’t you know me?
A# Ab
I couldn’t be yours after all
Ab A#
I never knew
Ab A#
The waters, they parted
Ab A#
As she rose to shine
[Chorus]
Ab A# Cm A#
She was my maid, my wife-to-be
Ab A# Cm A#
Returned to me this one time
Ab A# D# A# Ab
I did not know her, I made her flee
Ab A#
Flee from me
