In New York this morning,
it was 8am LA time
And I could be there by this evening
Said the girl on the airline line
So I bought that ticket,
and I got in that cab
But I didn't make it babe
To the airport like that
No I wound up walkin'
Out by the ocean today
And there were naked women
Dancing in the Mermaid Parade
And O Amanda
did you see me today
Watchin' those women dancing
In the Mermaid Parade
And O Amanda
were you with me today
Watchin' those women waltz by
In the Mermaid Parade
Now our hearts were on fire
Only two weeks ago
And our bodies were like live wires
Down on the beach in Mexico
But I came back to this city
And you stayed home in LA
And then our two years of marriage In two short weeks somehow just slipped away
And I know all about your new man
Your new older, old man
And I heard that hes married
O you be careful Amanda
And yeah I got a new friend too
And yeah shes pretty and shes small
But god damn it Amanda
Ah god damn it all
I went out walkin'
Out by the ocean today
And there were naked women dancing
Dancing in the Mermaid Parade
And O Amanda did you see me today
Watchin' those women dancing
In the Mermaid Parade
And O Amanda were you with me today
Watching those women waltz by
In the Mermaid Parade
And O Amanda were you with me today, no
Watching those women waltz by
In the Mermaid Parade
All the way through the song theres both a lead guitar and a piano playing leads.
It's in the key of Dm/F. Just noodle around a bit in this scale and you'll be fine.
