G#               A#        Cm             Gm
Can't swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
G#           A#            Cm          D#
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
G#                      A#           Cm
I stayed there till the air was clear,
                 Gm
I was bored and out of tears
     Fm                            A#  G
Then I saw you washed up on the shore

  G#        A#           Cm           Gm
I offered you my coat, thank Goddess love can float
G#              A#                 Cm             D#
Crazy how that shipwreck meant my ship was coming in
G#                 A#           Cm            Gm
We talked till the sun went down, love on the Puget
sound
    Fm                        G
My treasure map was on your skin

Chorus:
Cm            G#  D# A#
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Cm      G#      D#          Gm
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Cm     G#     D#       A#
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
Fm                       G
I would have wished in '92 for a mermaid
 G#   A#  Cm
just like you
    Gm  G#   A#  Cm   Gm
Whoa, just like you, whoa

Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you
see in me
Funny but sometimes can't help but wonder that
as well
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years
I paid
The way to this heavenly bay, it went through hell

Chorus

 A#                           Fm
Rescued you by the banyan tree,
all the girl fish in the sea
G#
Couldn't hold a handle to you,
they don’t have a handle on you
           D#
They don't have a scandal on you,
I love Ecco sandals on you
       A#                     Fm
Savin' me was B.I.G., all the boy fish in the sea
     G#                           G
They all wish that they could be me

Can’t swim so I took a boat
To an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before

Chorus:
Beauty in the water
Angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter
I thought love was out of reach
'Til I got her
Had I known it could come true
I would have wished in ’92
For a mermaid just like you
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Just like you
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Just like you (Rescued you by the banyan tree)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh) (All the girlfish in the sea)
Just like you
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
