Mermaids chords by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Chords with lyrics

Bb majorBb       C majorC
She was a catch We were a match
Bb majorBb             C majorC
I was the match That would fire up her snatch
Bb majorBb          C majorC
But there was a catch I was no match
Bb majorBb             C majorC
I was fired from her crotch Now I'll sit around and watch
Bb majorBb             C majorC
The mermaids sun themselves Out on the rocks
Bb majorBb            C majorC
They are beyond our touch I watch and watch
Bb majorBb        C majorC
Them wave at me, They wave at me
Bb majorBb         C majorC       DmDm
They wave and slip Back into the sea

C majorC           Bb majorBb        G minorGm
All the ones who come All the ones who go
        DmDm
Down to the water
C majorC             Bb majorBb        G minorGm
And all the ones who come All the ones who go
       DmDm
Down to the sea

Bb majorBb        C majorC
I believe in God I believe in mermaids too
Bb majorBb                 C majorC
I believe in 72 virgins on a chain Why not? Why not?
Bb majorBb            C majorC
I believe in the rapture For I've seen your face
Bb majorBb            C majorC           DmDm
On the floor of the ocean At the bottom of the rain


Bb majorBb              C majorC
I do Driver Alertness Course I do Husband Alertness Course
Bb majorBb              C majorC
I do Mermaid Alertness Course I watch them out on the rocks
Bb majorBb       C majorC
They wave at me,they wave at me
Bb majorBb         C majorC       DmDm
They wave and slip back into the sea

C majorC           Bb majorBb        G minorGm
All the ones who come All the ones who go
        DmDm
Down to the water
C majorC             Bb majorBb        G minorGm
And all the ones who come All the ones who go
       DmDm
Down to the sea

C majorC           Bb majorBb        G minorGm
All the ones who come All the ones who go
        DmDm
Down to the water
C majorC             Bb majorBb        G minorGm
And all the ones who come All the ones who go
       DmDm
Down to the sea
