Mermaid Song

G#m                           A
         She loves to drive east in the evening,
     H                         A
when the sun is all golden and low.
G#m           A
         When nobody knows she's arriving,
            H                 A
and there's nobody waiting at home.
    C#m           A
She told that she still has a lover,
         E                    H
but he's away for a year at a time.
   F#m             A
And if I wanted to I could go see her,
         E                     H
but she told me she'd never be mine

G#m                           A
       She said that she loves to go dancing,
          H                  A
but she'd rather go dancing alone.
G#m                          A
       She said that there's no point in dancing,
          H                  A
with someone that you already know.
F#m                      A
Then she asked me if she met a stranger,
        E                     H
would I share her for only an hour.
F#m                     A
She said don't worry boy there's no danger,
        E                      H
I get amnesia straight after a shower.

C#m                 E
And I know that you do what you say
    C#m                       E
And what you want while you're away
                         C#m             E
I just wish you wouldn't look at me that way
    D        D      C#m      C#m7
For so long,        so long

      She said....

G#m                     A
don't wait for me in the darkness,
      H                        A
I can find my way home if it's clear.
    G#m          A
By observing the stars and their movements,
       H                        A
and by holding a shell to my ear
F#m                                      A
She said boy you'd better find yourself somewhere new to go,
 E                      B
after your days work is done
       F#m                      A
Because me I love to drive east in the evening
        E                          H
I can'€™t wait for the night time to come
F#m             A
I love to drive east in the evening
                     E            H
you know it makes me feel so alive
      F#m                  A
I can't wait for his sweet return
    E                     H
and for the night time to arrive

And I know that you do what you say
    C#m                       E
And what you want while you're away
                         C#m             E
I just wish you wouldn't look at me that way

For so long,             so long
