[Intro 1]
[G][Am]

[Verse 1]
And [Am]there were [G]mermaids,
weren't there
[Am]Sweet silver [G]mermaids
All through that gray
Trafalgar [Am]Square

[Verse 2]
Such silver mermaids
[Am]
They were [G]young, and they were fair
They brushed their [Am]bronze and
Dusky hair
And [F]whispered, [G]"Come, [F]Sad Ste[B]phen,
[C]come, and play [Am]here"

[Verse 3]
[Am]
"You will love,
[G]you[Em] will[E] be loved[Am][E]
You will [Em]grow up,
[E]and do so [Am]much[E]
You will be [C]strong,
[E]you will [C]be [Am]sung[E]
By all the mer[C]maids,
[E]silver[Am] mer[C]maids"[Am]

[Interlude 1]

[G]

[Verse 4]
And [G]once they'd sung their satin song
They [Am]beckoned to me from the [G]fog
They spread their arms and lifted
Pale-portrait faces
[Am]faces

[Verse 5]
I was taken
[Am]To their c[G]oral-cavern halls[Em]
[E]halls
To rooms with [Asus2]oyster
[Am]shells for [E]walls
To sandy [Em]nooks,
and [E]pearly books and [Am]ivory dolls
[E]

[Verse 6]
In ivory [C]stall[G] s,[Em][E]
in [Am]ivory [C]sta[E]ll s[Am]
[E]

[Verse 7]
And there [Am]were [G]mermaids,
weren't [F]there?[G]
[Am]Sweet silver mer[Em]maids
[Am]All [G]through that wan,
forgotten [Am]square

[Verse 8]
Silver mermaids
[Am]
They were [G]young, and they were fair
They brushed their [Am]bronze and
Dusky hair
And [F]whispered, "Come,
[G]Sad[F] St[G]eph [F]en, c[B]ome"[Em][C]
And I [Am]was taken

[Verse 9]
[Am]
Was I [F]wrong? should I [Ebdim]have run?
I [B]wanted [E]all, [C]I wanted you[Am]ng
And [F]portrait [G]faces[F]
I [G]was [Ebdim]taken[B]
[Ebdim]

[Verse 10]
Did [B]I l[Am]ove? I[G] di[Em]dn't[C][E]
[Am]care[Asus2][Am][E]
Did I [Em]grow [C]up? [E]Well,
un[Am]aware
[Asus2][Am][Asus2][E]

[Verse 11]
And was I [C]strong? [Em]And[G][E]
[Am]was [C]I sung[Am]?[E]
How do [C]I haunt Trafalg[G]ar f[E]og
And find [Am]I wan[Am]t so muc[E]h,
[Am]still [C]want
[Em][E]

[Verse 12]
[Am]And [E]no mor[C]e merm[E]aids
No [C]more mer[Am]maids
