Tabbed by: RJ

Tuning: Standard

This is the gist of what’s going on in this song, as best I can figure.

Verse (this pattern repeats for each verse):
         Chord diagramC majorC                      Chord diagramFF
When I was a lad in a fishing town,

Chord diagramC majorC                              Chord diagramFF
Me old man said to me:

                 Chord diagramC majorC                                Chord diagramFF
“You can spend your life, your jolly life,

        Chord diagramG+G
Just sailing on the sea.

               Chord diagramC majorC                              Chord diagramFF
You can search the world for pretty girls,

                 Chord diagramA minorAm                       Chord diagramE minorEm
‘till your  eyes are weak and dim,

       Chord diagramFF 				 Chord diagramC majorC
But don’t go searching for the mermaid son,

           Chord diagramG+G                            Chord diagramC majorC
If you don’t know how to swim.”

Chorus:

Chord diagramFF			           Chord diagramC majorC
‘Cause her hair was green as seaweed,

       Chord diagramFF                            Chord diagramC majorC
Her skin was blue and pale,

        Chord diagramFF                              Chord diagramC majorC
Her face it was a work of art,

   Chord diagramFF                                       Chord diagramC majorC
I loved that girl with all my heart,

         Chord diagramFF                   Chord diagramC majorC
But I only like the upper part,

Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramC majorC
I did not like the tail.
