G D
On a day of days
Em D
I stood and gazed
Em7 A
Over the western sea
G D
Startled and struck
Em D
Frightened to look
Em7 A
When a mermaid called to me
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
G D
Like a man in a dream
Em D
For an age it seemed
Em7 A
I stood as still as a stone
G D
While the mermaid sang
Em D
And her melody rang
Em7 A
Like a memory calling me home
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
G D
Then the sea and the wind
Em D
And the shores did spin
Em7 A
Though my resistance was strong
G D
All the stars in space
Em D
Filled the mermaid's face
Em7 A
She captured my will with her song
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
G D
Somehow I spoke
Em D
The enchantment broke
Em7 A
I rubbed my eyes open wide
G D
Like a dream she was gone
Em D
What remained was a song
Em7 A
Borne on the ebbing tide
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
D
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
G
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah
Em7 A
My sunny sailor boy
