The Mermaid Tab par Traditional Irish

F                     Bb  F
Twas Friday morn when we set sail
       Bb       C            F
And we were not far from the land
F                        Bb      F 
When the captain spied a pretty mermaid
        Bb       C          F
With a comb and glass in her hand


CHORUS

F
Oh the ocean waves may roll let them roll
                         C  
And the stormy wind may blow
    F                  F               F 
But we poor sailors go skipping to the top
        Bb            C         F       
And the land lubbers lie down below below below
        Bb            C         F 
And the land lubbers lie down below.

Then up spoke the captain...
Then up spoke the cook...
Then up spoke the cabin-boy...
Then three times around...
