Intro:
A


Verse 1:
      A           D    A
Got a book for my birthday
         D    A        E
It was a story about a mermaid
         D                A
And ever since she was little
D                   A
She could hear the sea whisper
D   A   E
Hmm hmm hmm
          A
And every day before her bedtime
    D                    A
She looked out the window
D              A
Sighing at the fishermen
    E
She knew she was an odd creature

Pre-Chorus:
       D                   A
And in her I found a friend
     D              A
Like she was representing
        D                 A
All the creatures and the misfits
     E     D      A
That never really blend in


Chorus:
        A                    E        A
She was odd like me, she was odd like me
   F#m           Bm7             D         E    A
Oh papa read the story about the girl from the sea
        A                    Faug     F#m
She was odd like me, she was odd like me
   F#m           Bm7             D         E    A
Oh papa read the story about the girl from the sea


Verse 2:
              A               D   A
And the first time she dipped her toes
    D        A        E
She knew that she was at home
        D              A
And the concert of the lakes
                D            A
Made her feel a little less alone
D   A   E
Hmm hmm hmm
    A
And memories of a past life
   D                   A
Of prayers to the lighthouse
     D                    A
They gather round this magic machine
     E
That told the waves to come down


Pre-Chorus:
       D                   A
And in her I found a friend
     D              A
Like she was representing
        D                 A
All the creatures and the misfits
     E     D      A
That never really blend in


Chorus:
        A                    E        A
She was odd like me, she was odd like me
   F#m           Bm7             D         E    A
Oh papa read the story about the girl from the sea
        A                    Faug     F#m
She was odd like me, she was odd like me
   F#m           Bm7             D         E    A
Oh papa read the story about the girl from the sea


Bridge:
        N.C.
And her mama cried, and her papa too

"How come that we got to make a mermaid like you?"

And the evening came and they let her go

Waving as she swam into the waves from the shore
Bm7                D            D    E  A
Knowing that their baby she was finally home


Chorus:
        A                    E        A
She was odd like me, she was odd like me
   F#m           Bm7             D         E    A
Oh papa read the story about the girl from the sea
        A                    Faug     F#m N.C.
She was odd like me, she was odd like me
   F#m           Bm7             D         E    A
Oh papa read the story about the girl from the sea
