[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ As I went down [F#m] to the coast [A] on the Isle [Bm] of Iona,
And as [F#m] I looked [A] out upon [C#] the turquoise sea _ [F#m] there on the rocks,
[A] _
Shining [C#m] in [Bm] the clear light was the [F#m] shimmering _ [A] fawn of the [Bm] Mermaid _ _ [C#]
Queen.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
Her tail was [F#] _
[A] glowed like [Bm] thousand _ rainbows, her [F#m] silver hair [A] was chosen [Bm] jewels _ [E] adorned.
She looked [F#m] at me [A] with eyes [Bm] of amber and said,
I am [F#m] the mother [A] from whom all [Bm] are _
[C#] _ [Bm] born. _ _ _
_ _ I am [F#m] the spirit [A] of the ocean, [Bm] said she, _ I [F#m] am the mother [A] of [Bm] history. _
And you, [F#m] little humans, [A] are [E] born of my [Bm] children, [E] _ [B] for [F#m] as you know, all [A] life came from [Bm] the _ sea. _ _ _ _
_ _ Remember, [F#m] my child, [A] that the sea is [Bm]
within you, and within you [F#m] the [A] knowledge,
Of all that [B] life can be.
And if [F#m] you know this, [A] then [C#m] you [Bm] know,
_ For I am [F#m] at the heart of [A] your divine _ [Bm] destiny.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ O great goddess [F#m] of the ocean, _ [A] grandmother of [Bm] the sea,
_ You who [F#m] are the keeper [A] of [C#] ancient [Bm] histories,
_ I honor [F#m] you [A] and the [C#m] wisdom you [B] carry, and honor [F#m] the part [A] of you that is [Bm] in me.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ And with that [F#m] she smiled [A] and vanished [B] neat the waves,
Although her [F#m] form was gone, [A] the light [C#m] around [Bm] her stayed.
And many [F#m] a time [A] I'll think [Bm] of Iona, _ remember [F#m] the _ [A] words of the [Bm] mermaid _ _ _ queen. _ _
_ _ _ I am [F#m] the spirit of the ocean, [Bm] said she, _ I [F#m] am the mother of _ [A] _ _ [C#m] [Bm] history.
_ And you, [F#m] little humans, are born of [Bm] my children, _ for [F#m] as you know, all [A] life came from [Bm] the sea. _ _ _ _
_ _ Remember, my [F#m] child, [A] that the sea [C#] is within you, and [B] within you [F#m] the knowledge,
[A] Of all that [C#m] life [Bm] can be.
And if [F#m] you know [A] this, then you [Bm] know, _
For I am [F#m] at the heart of [A] your divine _ [Bm] destiny.
[E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
O great goddess [F#m] of the ocean, [A] grandmother of [Bm] the sea,
You who [F#m] are the keeper [A] of ancient [B] histories, _
_ I honor [F#m] you [A] and the [Bm] wisdom you carry, [Em] and [Bm] honor [F#m] the part [A]
of you that is in [B] me. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
And with that she [F#m]
smiled [A] and vanished [Bm] neat the waves,
Although [F#m] her form was gone, [A] the light around [Bm] her stayed.
[E] And [B] many [F#m] a time [A] I'll think of [Bm] Iona, _ remember [F#m] the words [A] of the [B] mermaid _ queen. _ _ _ _ _
