Turn Loose The Mermaids

[Verse]
G#m
A kite above a graveyeard grey
       D#m  
At the end of the

line far far away
  B                   
  A child holding on to
     F#                  G#m
the magic of birth and awe


[Interlude]
G#m D#m B F# G#m


[Verse]
G#m
Oh, how beautiful it used to be
     D#m
Just you and me far beyond the sea
    B                 F#
The waters, scarce in motion
          G#m
Quivering still


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


[Interlude]
G#m D#m B F# G#m


[Verse]
G#m
Good journey, love, time to go
  D#m  
I checked your teeth

and warmed your toes
B                F#   
  In the horizon I see
                 G#m
them coming for you
G#m  
The mermaid's grace,

the forever call
D#m  
Beauty in spyglads

on an old man's porch
    B                 F#     
  The mermaids you turn loose
                   G#m
brought back your tears


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


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

All the relics of a lifelong lived
