The Mermaid
nível iniciante
G                C      G 
It was Friday morn when we set sail  
       C        D            G 
And we were not far from the land  
         G                   C          G                   
When the captain, he spied a mermaid so fair  
       C          D            G 
With a comb and a glass in her hand   



Refrain: 
        G                                             D 
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow 
    G                   C               G 
And we poor sailors are skipping to the top  
          C           D        G 
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below  
          C           D        G 
While the landlubbers lie down below  


    G                       C           G 
And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship 
      C           D       G  
And a fine spoken man was he 
     G                 C                G  
This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom 
         C           D             G 
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea 


Refrain 

     G                      C              G 
Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship 
    C           D       G 
And brave young lad was he 
       G                      C            G 
Sayin' I have a sweetheart in Salem by the sea  
    C                 D           G 
And tonight she'll be weepin' for me  


Refrain 

    G                    C           G 
And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship  
      C         D           G 
And a crazy old butcher was he  
  G                     C           G  
I care much more for my pots and my pans  
       C          D             G  
Than I do for the bottom of the sea  

Refrain 

     G                  C                G 
Then three times around spun our gallant ship  
    C           D           G 
And three times around spun she  
    G                  C                G 
And three times around spun our gallant ship  
        C           D             G 
And she sank to the bottom of the sea   


Refrain
