The Mermaid – Great Big Sea
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: RJ
Tuning: Standard
This is the gist of what’s going on in this song, as best I can figure.
Verse (this pattern repeats for each verse):
C F
When I was a lad in a fishing town,
C F
Me old man said to me:
C F
“You can spend your life, your jolly life,
G
Just sailing on the sea.
C F
You can search the world for pretty girls,
Am Em
‘till your eyes are weak and dim,
F C
But don’t go searching for the mermaid son,
G C
If you don’t know how to swim.”
Chorus:
F C
‘Cause her hair was green as seaweed,
F C
Her skin was blue and pale,
F C
Her face it was a work of art,
F C
I loved that girl with all my heart,
F C
But I only like the upper part,
G C
I did not like the tail.
Q.E.D
Enjoy!
