The Mermaid
Kate Rusby
 
 
[Intro]
Dm C
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
Farewell the rolling hills
 
And farewell to the fields
     C                             Dm
Farewell love, my fate tonight is sealed
        C               Dm
On the sea love, on the sea
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm
High are the daunting waves
 
And bold the wind it blows
           C                             Dm
And I can see love, the mermaid and she knows
        C               Dm
On the sea love, on the sea
 
 
[Chorus]
                           C
And peace as, the sea it calms
     Dm                 C
And peace now, in her arms
 
Where I’ll be, love
  Dm
Sleeping in the sea
 
 
Dm C Dm Dm C C Dm
 
 
[Verse 3]
    Dm
My father built a bonny ship
                    Dm
And set her on the sea
            C                             Dm
It was his joy love, he gave that ship to me
        C               Bb
On the sea love, on the sea
 
 
[Verse 4]
   Dm
On oceans high and oceans low
 
We sailed that ship around
              C                            Dm
We owned the tide love, for glory we were bound
        C                Bb
On the sea love, on the sea
 
 
[Chorus]
     Dm
And peace now, the sea it calms
                       C
And peace now, in her arms
 
Where I’ll be, love
  Dm
Sleeping in the sea
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Bb C
 
 
[Verse 5]
Dm                    C
And three times the ship went round
     Dm                     C
And three times round went she
                                       Bb
Its murky deep love, and far away from thee
        C               Dm
On the sea love, on the sea
 
 
[Verse 6]
Dm
Farewell the rolling hills
 
And farewell to the fields
          C                        Dm
Farewell love, my fate tonight is sealed
        C               Bb
On the sea love, on the sea
 
 
[Chorus]
     Dm
And peace now, the sea it calms
                      C
And peace now, in her arms
 
Where I’ll be, love
  Dm
Sleeping in the sea
  C
It's where I'll be love-
  Dm
Sleeping in the sea

Great tab! Love it. I have the booklet for the album and in verse 5 the lyric is "far away from thee."
