Bb              C 
She was a catch We were a match 
Bb                          C 
I was the match That would fire up her snatch 
Bb                    C 
But there was a catch I was no match 
Bb                          C 
I was fired from her crotch Now I'll sit around and watch 
Bb                          C 
The mermaids sun themselves Out on the rocks 
Bb                        C 
They are beyond our touch I watch and watch 
Bb               C 
Them wave at me, They wave at me 
Bb                 C              Dm 
They wave and slip Back into the sea 
C                     Bb               Gm   
All the ones who come All the ones who go 
               Dm                               
Down to the water  
C                         Bb               Gm 
And all the ones who come All the ones who go 
             Dm 
Down to the sea 
Bb               C 
I believe in God I believe in mermaids too 
Bb                                 C 
I believe in 72 virgins on a chain Why not? Why not? 
Bb                       C 
I believe in the rapture For I've seen your face 
Bb                        C                      Dm 
On the floor of the ocean At the bottom of the rain 
Bb                           C 
I do Driver Alertness Course I do Husband Alertness Course 
Bb                            C 
I do Mermaid Alertness Course I watch them out on the rocks 
Bb              C                         
They wave at me,they wave at me  
Bb                 C              Dm 
They wave and slip back into the sea 
C                     Bb               Gm   
All the ones who come All the ones who go 
               Dm                               
Down to the water  
C                         Bb               Gm 
And all the ones who come All the ones who go 
             Dm 
Down to the sea 
C                     Bb               Gm   
All the ones who come All the ones who go 
               Dm                               
Down to the water  
C                         Bb               Gm 
And all the ones who come All the ones who go 
             Dm 
Down to the sea
