We were sailing with a fair wind, and in the fair winds [E] we did go,
[A] And our gallant ship had struck a rock, and to the bottom she laid low,
[B] And the [A] mermaid looked so beautiful as she swam [E] across the shore,
And the [A] mermaid looked so beautiful as she'd never looked before,
[D] And the very first [A] rock our ship did [D] crack, our captain [E] he did cry,
[A] Lord God have mercy on our souls, as into the deep we'll die,
[Bm] And the mermaid [A] looked so beautiful as she swam [E] across the shore,
[A] And the mermaid looked so beautiful as she'd never looked before,

[F#] And the mermaid [A] looked so beautiful as she swam [E] across the shore,
[F#] And the mermaid [A] looked so beautiful as she'd never looked before,
[D] Sometimes on [A] board, sometimes on deck, sometimes or [E] day below,
While us poor [A] sailors climbed to the top, the landlubbers lie below,
And the mermaid looked so beautiful as she swam [E] across the shore,
And the mermaid [A] looked so beautiful [F#] as she'd never [A] looked before,
