The High Kings - The Mermaid Chords

[Verse 1]
   D                G      D
It was Friday morn when we set sail
       G        A            D
And we were not far from the land
                             G          D
When the captain, he spied a mermaid so fair
       G          A            D
With a comb and a glass in her hand
 
[Chorus]
        D                                             A
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
    D                   G               D
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
          G           A        D
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
          G           A        D
While the landlubbers lie down below
 
[Verse 2]
    D                       G           D
And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
      G           A       D
And a well spoken man was he
       D                  G                D
Said a pretty mermaid has warned me of our doom
         G           A             D
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea
 
[Chorus]
        D                                             A
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
    D                   G               D
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
          G           A        D
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
          G           A        D
While the landlubbers lie down below
 
[Verse 3]
    D                    G           D
And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
      G         A           D
And a crazy old butcher was he
                             G           D
Said I care much more for my pots and my pans
       G          A             D
Than I do for the bottom of the sea
 
[Chorus]
        D                                             A
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
    D                   G               D
And we poor sailors are skipping to the top
          G           A        D             Bm
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
          G           A        D
While the landlubbers lie down below
 
[Verse 4]
     D                      G              D
Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
      G           A       D
And a brave young lad was he
       D                      G               D
Sayin' I have a sweetheart in Brooklyn by the sea
    G         A              D
And tonight a widow she will be
 
[Chorus]
        D                                             A
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
    D                   G               D
And we poor sailors are skipping to the top
          G           A        D             Bm
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
          G           A        D
While the landlubbers lie down below
 
[Verse 5]
     D                  G                D
Then three times around spun our gallant ship
    G           A           D
And three times around spun she
    D                  G                D
And three times around spun our gallant ship
        G           A             D
And she sank to the bottom of the sea
 
[Chorus]
        D                                             A
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
    D                   G               D
And we poor sailors are skipping to the top
          G           A        D             Bm
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
          G           A        D
While the landlubbers lie down below
