[Verse]

Dm            C
On the blue waters of mermaids
       Bb             C
I was sailing on the blue
Dm    C                         Bb
Brought up a catch of strangest wonder
       C
On the blue

Dm         C
And I drew my knife to gut
            Bb            C
What I had taken from the blue
Dm               C
But it was gone, back to the lake
             Bb       C
And vanished into the blue

    Bb           C
The waters, they parted
   Bb          C
As she rose to shine


[Chorus]

Bb          C        Dm     C
She was my maid, my wife-to-be
   Bb           C       Dm  C
Returned to me this one time
Bb        C         F  C       Bb      
I did not know her, I made her flee
Bb         C
Flee from me

[Bridge]

Bb          C   Dm            C
Beneath the waves and marbled rocks
Bb     C    Dm            C
Watery canyon of blackest depths
Bb          C
My hope was sunk
   Dm    C       Bb
My dream taken away
Bb    C
Taken away

Dm C Bb C Dm C

Dm          C
Woe to you, she said to me
       Bb                 C
As she broke cover of the blue
Dm
Don’t you know me?
C                         Bb
I couldn’t be yours after all
Bb      C
I never knew

Bb               C
The waters, they parted
   Bb          C
As she rose to shine


[Chorus]

Bb          C        Dm     C
She was my maid, my wife-to-be
   Bb           C       Dm  C
Returned to me this one time
Bb        C         F  C       Bb      
I did not know her, I made her flee
Bb         C
Flee from me

Bb          C   Dm            C
Beneath the waves and marbled rocks
Bb     C    Dm            C
Watery canyon of blackest depths
Bb          C
My hope was sunk
   Dm    C       Bb
My dream taken away
Bb    C
Taken away
