Then I saw you washed up on the shore

Verse:
Ab          Bb             Cm           Eb
I offered you my coat, thank god this luck can flow
Ab               Bb                Cm            Eb
Crazy how that shipwreck met my ship was coming in

Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Cm     Eb                Bb                  Fm
Till I got her, had I known it could come through
                      Bb                    Ab    Bb   Cm
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you

Whoa, just like you, whoa

Verse -same as before-:
Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you see in me
Funny but sometimes can’t help but wonder that as well
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
The way to this heavenly bay it went through hell

Chorus:
Cm            Eb      Bb           Ab
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Cm       Eb       Bb          Gm
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Cm     Eb                Bb                  Fm
Till I got her, had I known it could come through
                      Bb                    Ab    Bb   Cm
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you

Whoa, just like you, whoa

Verse -same as before-:
Rescued you by the banyan tree, All the girlfish in the sea
Couldn't hold a candle to you, They don’t have a handle on you,
They don’t have a scandal on you, I love Ecco Sandals on you
Saving me was B-I-G, All the boyfish in the sea
They all wish that they could be me

Bridge:
Ab                Bb           Cm              Eb
Can’t swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
Ab           Bb              Cm          Eb
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before

Chorus:
Cm            Eb      Bb           Ab
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Cm       Eb       Bb          Gm
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Cm     Eb                Bb                  Fm
Till I got her, had I known it could come through
                      Bb                    Ab    Bb   Cm
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
