Fiji Mermaid(Chords)

	        

Intro: E 

verse
  
E 
 Stitch up the nets but the patch won't stay 

 As the nail beds rest in the calico hay 
    A7           Am                   E 
 The Fiji Mermaid dressed in macrame's 

 Wading road in the fork and a bend 

 In the spoon tern cut short as a shadow at noon 
 A7                 Am 
 Melting like wax as that once full moons 
  E 
 Now waning ersatz acts an insufferable bore 

 Sharp Shots dull as a harlequins sword 
       A7                  Am 
 When doing as you please doesn't please you anymore 

Interlude: C G C A7 Am    C G C E 

verse:
 
E 
 Stick of the match as the paraffin show 

 Drop a nickel to watch the asparagus grow 
      A7                 Am 
 The stone in what shell? 
                  E 
 You sure like to know now don't you? 


 A loom in the heir as the medicine came 

 To the nest of the mare of the mystery claims 
           A7                       Am 
 But you'll miss having someone to blame 
                  E 
 For your sadness, now won't you? 


 Well maybe there'll be a bakery hiring 
        A7            Am 
 We'll knead a little dough to get by 

Interlude: C G C A7 Am (2x) 

verse
 
C                            E 
 Did you come knocking on my door 

 Or did I come to yours? 
C                             E 
 Whose ship came washed up on whose shore? 

 And from what ocean floor?
