Chord progression for the chorus: E A' Gbm B
On a day of days I stood and gazed
__over the western sea
Startled and struck, frightened to look
When a mermaid called to me__
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh, __my sunny sailor boy__
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh, __my sunny sailor boy__
Like a man in a dream, for an age it seemed
__I stood as still as a stone__
While the mermaid sang and her melody rang
Like a memory calling me home
(Chorus)
Then the sea and the wind and the shores did spin
__Though my resistance was strong
All the stars in space filled the mermaid's face
She captured my will with her song
(Chorus)
Somehow I spoke, the enchantment broke
I rubbed my eyes open wide
Lika a dream she was gone
What remained was a song borne on the ebbing tide
(Chorus)
