Capo 2
GWell he heard her singin' all night long 
Cryin' out some lonesome sonAmg under the moon 
GAnd the wind was low, and he felt as though 
the thiDngs she wanted him to know were Gcomin' soon 
And when the tide was high, and tAmhe ship was about to leave 
DThese are the words that Gcarried across the sea
She said, Am"If you kiss mDe one time beneath theGse waves 
Then I wiAmll show you all of my Dthousand shapGes
and if Amyou kiss me one time Dbeneath these waves G  
Then I wilAml tell you all of Dmy thousand nGames 
La-da-de-Amla-da-de-Dladie-o..." 
GWell east is east, and west is west 
He found that he couAmld not forget that melody 
And Gat night he'd cry, and pray to keep it
DAnd wonder if he'd ever sleGep enough to dream 
And when at last he was sure that his hAmeart it would never mend 
She called through the Dnight, and sang Gto the sky again 
She said, Am"If you kiss mDe one time beneath theGse waves 
Then I wiAmll show you all of my Dthousand shapGes
and if Amyou kiss me one time Dbeneath these waves G  
Then I wilAml tell you all of Dmy thousand nGames 
And she cried: Am"EeeeDeee-G-eeeAmeeeeD-eeGeeeee!!!" 
Yeah, when the tide was high, and and Amship was about to leave
He came to his mind, and tDhrew it into the sGea 
She said, Am"If you kiss mDe one time beneath theGse waves 
Then I wiAmll show you all of my Dthousand shapGes
and if Amyou kiss me one time Dbeneath these waves G  
Then I wilAml tell you all of Dmy thousand nGames 
"OOOOh, aAmnd If you kiss Dme one time beneath thGese waves 
Then I wiAmll show you all of youDr thousand shGapes
and if Amyou kiss me one time Dbeneath these waves G  
Then I wilAml tell you all of Dyour thousand Gnames 
La-da-de-laAm-da-de-ladiDe-o" (x3)G
