MERMAID SONG chrom
18th C. Irish sea chantey
Key: G

  -1  -4  -4-3  3   3  -33 -2*2 -1
‘Twas Fri-day morn when we set sail
-1  -1  2    3  -2*  -3  -3   3
And we were not far from the land
 -1  -1  -4  -4-3   3   3  -3  3 -2*2  -1
When our cap-tain spied a love-ly mer-maid
 -1 -1  2    3  3  -2*  -3 -3   3
With a comb and a glass in her hand
-1 -1 -1  -1    2   -1   3
Oh the o-cean waves may roll
 3  -3   -4  -4  -4   3   -3
And the storm-y seas may blow
 3 -3 -4 -4-3  3    3  3
While we poor sail-ors go
 -3   3  -2*  2  -1
Skip-ping to the top
-1  -1   2    3   3
And the land-lub-bers 
-2*  -3  -3  3  -3 -4  4  -5
Lie down be-low be-low be-low
-1  -1   2    3   3   -2*  -3  -3  3
And the land-lub-bers lie down be-low

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
