Fiji Mermaid Uke tab by Mewithoutyou

intro: E
verse 
E
 Stitch up the nets but the patch won't stay

 As the nail beds rest in the calico hay
    A7           Am                   E
 The Fiji Mermaid dressed in macrame's

 Wading road in the fork and a bend

 In the spoon tern cut short as a shadow at noon
 A7                 Am
 Melting like wax as that once full moons
  E
 Now waning ersatz acts an insufferable bore

 Sharp Shots dull as a harlequins sword
       A7                  Am
 When doing as you please doesn't please you anymore

interlude: C G C A7 Am    C G C E
verse
E
 Stick of the match as the paraffin show

 Drop a nickel to watch the asparagus grow
      A7                 Am
 The stone in what shell?
                  E
 You sure like to know now don't you?


 A loom in the heir as the medicine came

 To the nest of the mare of the mystery claims
           A7                       Am
 But you'll miss having someone to blame
                  E
 For your sadness, now won't you?


 Well maybe there'll be a bakery hiring
        A7            Am
 We'll knead a little dough to get by

interlude: C G C A7 Am x2

verse
C                            E
 Did you come knocking on my door

 Or did I come to yours?
C                             E
 Whose ship came washed up on whose shore?

 And from what ocean floor?
