she was a catch we were a match
A# C
i was the match that would fire up her snatch
A# C
but there was a catch i was no match
A# C
i was fired from her crotch now i’ll sit around and watch
A# C
the mermaids sun themselves out on the rocks
A# C
they are beyond our touch i watch and watch
A# C
them wave at me , they wave at me
A# C Dm
they wave and slip back into the sea

down to the water
C A# Gm
and all the ones who come all the ones who go
Dm
down to the sea
