[INTRO]
F


[VERSE 1]
F
We went down to the edge of the water
G
You were afraid to go in
Bb
You said there might be sharks out there in the ocean
      F
And I said I'm only going for a swim

I was swimming around in a circle
G
I wasn't always in view
Bb
You said we might get into red flag danger
F
And I am alone when I'm not with you


[CHORUS]
    Bb
But I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
    F
And I am no fisherman's slave
Bb
I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
  F
I keep my head above the waves


[VERSE 2]
F
We were swinging from the centre of the ceiling
G
You were afraid to give in
Bb
I said i know I'll always live for this feeling
        F
And you closed your eyes you said never again

I was dancing in the middle of the desert
G
You said we'll burn under the hot sun
Bb
I said I'd rather be the colour of the pleasure
F
Than watch like you from under the thumb


[CHORUS]
    Bb
But I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
    F
And I am no fisherman's slave
Bb
I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
  F
I keep my head above the waves


[VERSE 3]
F
We went down to the edge of the water
G
You were afraid to go in
Bb
You said there might be sharks out there in the ocean
      F
And I said I'm only going for a swim

I was living around in a circle
G
I wasn't always In view
Bb
You said we might get into red flag danger
F
And I am alone when I'm not with you


[CHORUS]
    Bb
But I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
    F
And I am no fisherman's slave
Bb
I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
  F
I keep my head above the waves
    Bb
And I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
    F
And I am no fisherman's slave
Bb
I am no mermaid I am no mermaid
  F
I keep my head above the waves
