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