[Bb]
She was a catch, [C] we were a match [Bb] I was the match that [C] would fire up her snatch
[Bb] There was a catch, [C] I was [F] no match I [Bb] was fired from her crutch
[C] [D] I'll sit around and [Bb] watch
Mermaids sun [C] themselves out [F] on the rocks [Bb] They are beyond our touch, [C] I'll [F] watch and watch
[Bb]
Wave at [C] me, [F] they wave at [Bb] me [Gm] They wave and [C] slip back into [Dm] the sea
[C]
All the [Bb] ones that come, and all the ones [Gm] that go
Down to the [Dm] water And [C]
all the ones [Bb] that come
And all the ones [Gm] that go Down to the [Dm] sea
[Bb] I believe in God, [F] I believe in mermaids [Bb] too I believe in 72 [C] virgins on a chain
I [Bb] believe in the rapture, [C] for I've [D] seen your face
[Bb] On the floor of the ocean, [C] [Dm] at the bottom of the rain
I [Bb] do driver alertness [C] course I do [D] husband alertness [Bb] course
I do mermaid alertness [C] course I watch [F] them out on the [Bb] rocks
Wave at [C] me, [Am] they wave at [Bb] me They wave and [C] slip back into [Dm] the sea

Down to [Dm] the water [C] And all the ones [Bb] that come
And all the ones [Gm] that go [C]
Down to [Dm] the sea
