Turn Loose The Mermaids

[Verse]
Am
A kite above a graveyeard grey
       Em  
At the end of the

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


[Interlude]
Am Em C G Am


[Verse]
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


[Chorus]
                  F     
  At the end of the river
     G       Am
the sundown beams
C                   G        Am
All the relics of a lifelong lived
F           C         
  Here, weary traveller
  G         Am
rest your wand
          D       F         Am
Sleep the journey from your eyes


[Interlude]
Am Em C G Am


[Verse]
Am
Good journey, love, time to go
  Em  
I checked your teeth

and warmed your toes
C                G   
  In the horizon I see
                 Am
them coming for you
Am  
The mermaid's grace,

the forever call
Em  
Beauty in spyglads

on an old man's porch
    C                 G     
  The mermaids you turn loose
                   Am
brought back your tears


[Chorus]
                  F     
  At the end of the river
     G       Am
the sundown beams
C                   G        Am
All the relics of a lifelong lived
F           C         
  Here, weary traveller
  G         Am
rest your wand
          D       F         Am
Sleep the journey from your eyes


[Chorus]
                  F     
  At the end of the river
     G       Am
the sundown beams
C                   G        Am
All the relics of a lifelong lived
F           C         
  Here, weary traveller
  G         Am
rest your wand
          D       F         Am
Sleep the journey from your eyes


[Interlude]
Am D C G
Am  D  F  G  Am


[Chorus]
                  F     
  At the end of the river
     G       Am
the sundown beams
C                   G        Am
All the relics of a lifelong lived
F           C         
  Here, weary traveller
  G         Am
rest your wand
          D       F         Am
Sleep the journey from your eyes


[Chorus]
                  F     
  At the end of the river
     G       Am
the sundown beams
C                   G        Am
All the relics of a lifelong lived
F           C         
  Here, weary traveller
  G         Am
rest your wand
          D       F         Am
Sleep the journey from your eyes
