Chords for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Mermaids (Lyric Video)

[Bb] _ She was a catch, [C] _ we were a [Bb] match
I was the match that would [C] fire up her [Bb] snatch
There was a catch, [C] I [Dm] was no match
[Bb] I was fired from a [C] crutch
[Dm] I'll sit around [Bb] and watch
Mermaids [C] sun themselves out on the reefs
[Bb]
They are beyond our [C] touch
[F] I'll watch and watch
[Bb] _
_ Them wave at [C] me
[F] They wave at [Bb]
me
They wave [C] and slip
Back [Dm] into the sea
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ All [Bb] the ones who come
And all [Gm] the ones who go
Down [Dm] to the water
And [C] _
_ all the [Bb] ones who come
And all the [Gm] ones who go
Down to [Dm] the sea
I [Bb] _
_ believe in God
[C] _ [F] I believe in [Bb] mermaids too
I believe in [C] 72 virgins on a chain one
[Bb] I believe in the [C] rapture
[D] For I've seen your face
[Bb] On the floor of the ocean
[C] At [Dm] the bottom of the rain
_ I _ _ _ [Bb]
do driver alertness [C] course
I do husband alertness [Bb] course
I do mermaid alertness [C] course
[F] I watch them out on the [Bb] rocks
_ Wave at [Am] me
_ Wave at [Bb] me
_ Wave and [C] slip
_ Back [Dm] into the sea
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ All the [Bb] ones who come
And all the [Gm] ones who go
[G] [Dm] Down to the water
And [C] _
_ all the ones [Bb] who come
And all the ones [Gm] who go
[C] Down [Dm] to the sea
_ [C] For _ all [Bb] the ones who come
And all the [Gm] ones who go
Down [Dm] to the water
_ _ [C] For all the [Bb] ones who come
And [Gm] all the ones who go
[C] Down to [Dm] the sea _ _ _ _
