Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Verse 1: Am F C My captain once told me of the women at sea, Am F Am Half fish and half maiden, quite the sight to see, Am F C They're fair and ferocious and filled him with fright, Am F Am And one gave him his sea legs on one moonlit night, Verse 2: Am F C I wandered the seas looking for one such maid, Am F Am For brushing with her is how sailors are made, Am F C She looked in my eyes as I plead and I begged, Am F Am "Oh, lady of the depths, I just want to get pegged" Chorus: C F E7 I've been railed by a fair mermaid lass, C Dm Am Her hand in my hair and her strap in my ass Verse 3: Am F C My knees were a-knockin' as I did return, Am F Am To my captain, who said, "Son, your sea legs were earned" Am F C But all I could think of was the fish-woman's gaze, Am F Am How each gentle caress filled my mind up with haze, Chorus: C F E7 I've been railed by a fair mermaid lass, C Dm Am Her hand in my hair and her strap in my ass C F E7 To hell with my captain, and God sink my crew, C Dm Am For, sea foam-soaked siren, I belong to you Verse 4: Am F C The day's turned to weeks 'til, on the starboard side, Am F Am The mer-maiden sang, and our eyes all blew wide, Am F C One after another, we dove in the depths, Am F Am And the maiden dragged us to our watery deaths Outro: C F E7 We were railed by a fair mermaid lass, C Dm Am But the mermaid got hungry, so we breathed our last C F E7 She drowned our poor captain and us, his dear crew, C Dm Am Now, sea foam-soaked siren, we belong to you
