Turn Loose The Mermaids

	  		

 


Verse 1:
 
Am      
A kite above a graveyeard grey 

       Em  
At the end of the line far far away 

  C                       G                  Am 
A child holding on to the magic of birth and awe 


Am Em C G Am 


Am            
Oh, how beautiful it used to be 

     Em             
Just you and me far beyond the sea 

    C                 G 
The waters, scarce in motion 

          Am 
Quivering still 


Refrain: 
                  F         G       Am 
At the end of the river the sundown beams 

C                   G         Am 
All the relics of a life long lived 

F           C         G         Am 
Here, weary traveller rest your wand 

          D       F         Am 
Sleep the journey from your eyes 


Am Em C G Am 


Verse 2:
 
Am 
Good journey, love, time to go 

  Em 
I checked your teeth and warmed your toes 

C                G                   Am 
In the horizon I see them coming for you 

Am 
The mermaid's grace, the forever call 

Em 
Beauty in spyglads on an old man's porch 

    C                 G                       Am 
The mermaids you turn loose brought back your tears  


Refrain: 
                  F         G       Am 
At the end of the river the sundown beams 

C                   G         Am 
All the relics of a life long lived 

F           C         G         Am 
Here, weary traveller rest your wand 

          D       F         Am 
Sleep the journey from your eyes (2x)
