Mermaid 4/4

G G G7 C G

It was Fri-day morn when w-e se-t sail and

C D G G

we were not far from the land__ when our

G G7 C G

cap-tain he spied a mer-maid so fair with a

C D G G

comb and a glass in her hand.___

Chorus:

G C G G

And the o-cean waves do roll___ and the

Em C D D

storm-y winds do blow__ And

G G7 C G

we poor sail-ors are skip-ing at the top, with the

C D G G

land-lubbers lying down be-low, be-low, be-low, with the

C D G G

land-lubbers lyin' down be-low.

Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship and a

C D G G

crazy old butcher was he “I

G G7 C G

care far more for my skillets and my pans than I

C D G G

do for the bottom of the sea”.

G G7 C G

Then three times around spun our gallant ship and

three times around spun she

G G7 C G

Three times around spun our gallant ship and she
