[Verse]
F                G           Am              C
Can’t swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
F           G              Am          C
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
F                       G                 Am                   C
I stayed there till the air was clear, I was bored and out of tears
Dm                             G
Then I saw you washed up on the shore
 
F          G             Am           C
I offered you my coat, thank god this luck can flow
F               G                Am            C
Crazy how that shipwreck met my ship was coming in
F                 G               Am           C
We talked till the sun went down, love on the puget sound
Dm                      Em
My treasure map was on your skin
 
[Chorus]
Am            C      G           F
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Am       C       G          Em
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Am     C                G                  Dm
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
                      G                    F    G   Am
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Am     F     G   Am
Whoa, just like you, whoa
 
[Verse]
F                  G           Am            C
Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you see in me
F               G                        Am              C
Funny thoughts sometimes can’t help but wonder that as well
F              G          Am              C
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
 Dm                                   Em
The weight of this heavenly bay, it went through hell
 
[Chorus]
Am            C      G           F
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Am       C       G          Em
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Am     C                G                  Dm
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
                      G                    F    G   Am
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Am      F    G   Am
Woah, just like you, woah
 
[Bridge]
Am                                  C
Rescued you bout the banyan tree, all the girl fish in the sea
G
couldn't hold a candle to you, they don't have a handle on you
F
They don't have a scandal on you, I love eco sandals on you
Am                    G
Saving me was B-I-G, all the boy fish in the sea
Em
They all wish that they could be me
F                 G           Am           C
Can’t swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
F            G            Am          C
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
 
[Chorus]
Am            C      G           F
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Am       C       G          Em
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Am     C                G                  Dm
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
                      G                    F    G   Am
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Am      F    G   Am
Woah, just like you, woa

It appears to me that the chords are correct, but the lyrics are a bit hard to follow in the format that they are in. Just a tip!

The chorus sounds better in this order Am-F-C-G ... So you should try that instead :)
