Turn Loose The Mermaids

[Verse]
F#m
A kite above a graveyeard grey
       C#m  
At the end of the

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

F#m C#m A E F#m


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


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


[Interlude]

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

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

the forever call
C#m  
Beauty in spyglads

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


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


[Chorus]
                  D     
  At the end of the river
     E       F#m
the sundown beams
A                   E        F#m
All the relics of a lifelong lived
D           A         
  Here, weary traveller
  E         F#m
rest your wand

Sleep the journey from your eyes
