The Little Mermaid (A story) chords by

N/A
Verse 1
G
C

You know, the whole world loves
G

Hans Christian Andersen,

but the people of

the city of Copenhagen
Gm
G

always loved him best of all.

And their favorite story

was the one about the Little Mermaid.

They loved her so much

that they made a statue of her

that sits in the harbor of their

city right to this day.

When people all over the world think

of Copenhagen,

they think of the Little Mermaid.

Hold on, hold on here.

What is a mermaid?

Something awful, I hope.

Oh, definitely not. Oh.

A mermaid is a beautiful girl.

Well, actually,

she's half a girl and half a fish.

Luckily, her bottom half is the fish part.

The Little Mermaid

lived at the bottom of the sea,

where all mermaids live,

except she was a princess.

More than anything else,

she wanted to see

what the world was like above the sea,

where the strange people

with legs lived.

At last, on her fifteenth birthday,

she got her wish.

She was allowed to swim up,

up to the world of sunlight.

When she reached the top, though,

what should she find but an awful storm,

and a sinking ship,

and a handsome prince

about to drown.

Of course, she saved the prince

swimming to shore with him.

Now it was dark and stormy,

and the prince never

saw what she looked like.

But she saw the prince all right,
Am
G

and she fell in love with him.
C

After leaving him safely on the land,
G

And she swam back down to her sisters,


but she couldn't forget the

handsome prince.

So the little mermaid went to the terrible,

powerful sea witch.

She was very frightened,

but she asked her question.
C

Can you help me go back up
G

and win my prince?

The sea witch replied in a fearsome voice,

I will help you,

but it's going to cost you a lot.

But if you drink this magic potion,

your fishtail will disappear

and you will have pretty little human legs.

It will hurt a lot.

But if the prince marries you,

you will become a human being.

If he marries someone else,

you'll die the next day.

And in return for the magic potion,

you must give me your voice."

The mermaid was scared,

but she agreed.

She drank the potion,

swam up to the surface,
F
G

and her tail turned into a pair

of beautiful legs.

When the prince found her,

he fell in love with her immediately.

But he didn't know it was she

who saved his life,

and she couldn't tell him.

One day he met a princess

from a neighboring kingdom.

Now this princess had found him

after the mermaid had left him on the shore,


and the prince, when he had awakened,

had thought she had saved his life.

He was so happy to find her again,

he decided to marry her right away.

The world came crashing down

on the little mermaid.

Instead of waiting for the next day,

she threw herself into the ocean.

But when she opened her eyes,

she was high in the sky,

surrounded by beautiful

floating spirits.

They told her they were called the

Daughters of the Air.

The mermaid could see

right through them.

Come with us,

they said in the sweetest voices.
G

You'll float with us around the world,


doing good deeds,

blowing sweet winds

to make sick people well again.
G

An d we're always on the lookout

for good children

who make their parents happy.

And you know what, Oscar?

I'll bet the Little Mermaid

is probably floating right around

here, right now.

Well she isn't going to find any good

children

in this trash can.

Uh -oh, it's getting

to be time to say goodbye

to The Little Mermaid,

Hans Christian Andersen,

and Copenhagen.

Weren't those stories wonderful,

Oscar?

Yeah, well,

I did like the part about the mole.

Now scram!

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
