[D] [A]
Out of the moonlight, the month of May, This ship would take her [D] last breath.
Her hat full of must, it was draping, Like her mermaid she [D] was [E] dressed.
Her lonely [D]
heart, setting [Em] free, Swore [D] her cares weren't [A] sailing out to sea.
[D] [A] And all those people, they gathered round, Fought to view that [D] lovely [A] sight.
And all the young maidens, they came to town, Waited around all through the [A] [E] night.
Her lonely [D] heart, setting [Em] free, Swore [D] her cares weren't [A] sailing out to sea.
[D] [A]
[D]
[A] She tried to clear the rocks, with swelling sails, The ocean beat her every [D] time.
And with a crack, her bonnie failed, The sea engulfed and filled her [E] eyes.
Her lonely [D] heart, setting [E]
free, Swore [D] her cares weren't [A] sailing out to [E] sea.
[D]
I can hear [A] her calling, [E]
[D] I can hear her [A]
calling, [E] I can hear [A] her calling, I can [D] hear
[A] her calling,
Her lovers lost, and fathers never found, For now that mermaid's dressed [D] in [E] tears.
Her [D] lonely heart, setting [Em]
free, Swore [D] her prayers weren't [A] sailing out to sea.
[D]
I can hear [A] her calling,
[D] I can hear her [A]
calling, I can hear [A] her calling back to [D]
me.
[A] Now that mermaid's dressed [D] in tears, I feel that mermaid's dressed [A] in tears,
I see that mermaid's dressed [D] in her tears.
