Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x2
Can’t  swim so I took  a boat, to  an island so remote
Only  Johnny Depp  has ever been  to it before
I  stayed there till the air  was clear I was  bored and out of tears
Then  I saw you washed up on the  shore
I  offered you  my coat, thank  god this luck  can flow
Crazy  how that shipwreck  met my ship  was coming  in
We  talked till the  sun went down, love  on the fugit  sound
My  treasure map was on your  skin
Beauty  in the water, angel  on the  beach
Ocean’s  daughter,  I thought love  was out of reach
Till  I got  her, had I known  it could come through
 I would have wished in  ’92, for a mermaid just  like you
 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 paved
 The way to this heavenly bay it went through Hell
 Rescued you by the banyan tree, all the girl fish in the sea
 could not care to
 they don’t have a handle on you, they don’t have a scandal on you
 I don't like those sandals on you
 savin' me was B.I.G., all the boyfish in the sea
 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
