C      E7                                 
 Human form she had 
F            D
 In crescent city
F                  D                       
 She showed me her pity
       F    G7   
 Lucky me


C     E7
 In a storm so bad
F                 D
 The worst of the autumn
F                  D             F    G7
 She came from the bottom of the sea


Cm                Fm
 Please won't you stay a while
Eb             Gm
 And give your coat
            Bb                 Cm
 Then we'll fall in love in my boat
             Fm           Eb
 You'll be my selkie bride
Cm              Fm
 Please give me no denial
Eb           Gm
 A Promise I give 
         Bb                   Cm
 I'll forsake the life that I live
         Fm           Eb  G7
 Now you're by my side
          Cm
 If you return again
Fm           Gm
 I'll be the saddest man
G7            Cm
 My lips will burn your skin
Fm        Gm
 If you return again
G7               Cm
 Please don't return again
G7               Cm
 Please don't return again
G7               Cm       Gm
 Please don't return again

C      E7
 Human form she had 
F             D
 in crescent city
F                  D
 She showed me her pity
       F   G7
 Lucky me 

C        E7      
 On that day so sad
F           D
 Breezy and sunny
F                D            F
 She melted like honey in the sea
