Mermaid chords by Regina Spektor

Chords with lyrics

I am a mermaid
         FF
But I've sold my voice
   C majorC
For a couple of feet
   G+G
That always bleed
     FF       C majorC
When I go walking in the road

C majorC   G+G C majorC
I am a mermaid
         FF
But I've sold my voice
   C majorC
For a couple of feet
     G+G
And they always bleed
  FF
No matter how I clean

  G+G
And I once saw a most beautiful man
    FF      C majorC
at the local record store
  G+G
He bumped into me and said,
Well excuse me, young ma'am, but
     FF             C majorC
haven't I seen those pretty eyes somewhere before?
A minorAm              G+G
I smiled, but gestured at my throat
  FF        C majorC  C/BC/B
To show that I was mute
A minorAm              G+G
Well, he quickly stared down at the floor
  FF
And shuffled in his boots
FF
Aw, he was out of there so fast

C majorC   G+G C majorC
I am a mermaid
         FF
But I've sold my voice
   C majorC
For a midnight train
   G+G
And a bump of cocaine
    FF          C majorC
And an old photo of Ballets Russes

C majorC   G+G C majorC
I am a mermaid
          FF
But I have sold my voice
   C majorC
For a bottle of gin
     G+G
'Cause I can't swim
   FF
And I sure don't want to float

  G+G
Oh, I was so lonely walking out of that store
  FF             C majorC
And back into the busy people street
   G+G
When I overhead, I heard an argument
           FF                C majorC
A augmentedA woman opened up her window, threw a flower pot from it
   A minorAm    G+G
I was startled by the crash
     FF            C majorC   C/BC/B
But went over to find the little plant
A minorAm             G+G          FF
I quickly emptied it out my coffee paper cup and
Adopted it
FF
Transplanted it
FF
Took it home and
FF
Named it Mozart

C majorC   G+G C majorC
I am a mermaid
         FF
But I've sold my voice
     C majorC
And I got rid of my tail
G+G
At a junkyard sale
FF        C majorC
Along with some favorite childhood toys

C majorC   G+G C majorC
I am a mermaid
          FF
But I have sold my voice
   C majorC
For a couple of feet
     G+G
And they always bleed
  FF      C majorC
No matter how I clean
   C majorC
For a couple of feet
     G+G
And they always bleed
  FF      C majorC
No matter how I clean
   C majorC
For a couple of feet
   G+G
That tend to bleed
     FF
When I go wa-wa-walking
     C majorC C FF C...
