The Merman





D-G-D-G-D-G-Bm-A-D



I'm a (D)sailorman from (G)Wexford town,

I've (D)sailed the seven (A)seas,

I will (D)tell you a true (G)story

Of the (D)sunny southern (G)seas.

We were (D)caught up in the (G)doldrums

While (D)waiting for a (G)breeze

When the (D)stillness of the (G)day was broke

By a (Bm)merman in the (A)deep blue (D)seas.

Well the (G)captain he (D)slept below

While the (G)crew they lay a(D)bout

When (G)down in the (D)ocean, boys

We heard this mighty (G)shout.

His (D)hair was red, his (G)eyes were green,


His (D)beard was floating (G)free

He'd a (D)long green tail that could (G)kill a wale

That (Bm)waggled in the (A)deep blue (D)sea.





CHORUS:

An the (D)mermaids looked so (G)beautiful

As they (D)swam around by the (A)shore

But this (D)merman with his (G)fishy tail

I've (D)never seen be(G)fore.

And (D)sailors tell the (G)tallest tales

I've (D)never told a (G)lie;

He'd a (D)long green tail that could (G)kill a wale

that (Bm)wobbled as he (A)swam close (D)by.
