Bmaj7 Bmaj7/G# C#m7
Long ago

But it seems like yesterday

It happened the strangest way

My first love affair

Summer day

I'm swimming alone in the ocean

When suddenly I get a notion

That someone was watching

And I turned to see who was there

I saw this beautiful lady, beautiful lady

Only a heartbeat away from me

Two seashell earrings were all that she wore

She was smiling and saying to me

Oh, mermaid, mermaid

[Pre Ch]
She put her
F#m7 Emaj7
Sweet arms around me, sweet arms around me
F#m7 B7 Emaj
Ever so gently, she pulled me down
Em7 A7 Dmaj7 Bm7
Next thing I knew was the soft ocean floor
Em E7 F#7 G11
And the first taste of love that I'd found
[Verse]

Let me stay
G7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7/A Dm7
I'll live in your home in the ocean
G7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7/A Dm7
I'll give you my love and devotion
G7 Em7 Am7
But sadly she told me
Dm7 Dm7 D#m7 Em7
You must go back and find

A girl of your kind

So I left her behind

Now the ocean reminds me

Part fish, part girl

I still miss your world
