Elton John – Hey Ahab (Ukulele)

         C7(no3rd)
It's a constant struggle getting up that hill

                F/C     
There's a change of guard every day

                  C7(no3rd)
When you're clinging onto a driftwood boat

               F/C
You pray a great white whale might come your way

      Ab
No freeway traffic in the frozen North

          F7
Just a chain link fence full of birds

                Ab
And when the harpoon's loaded in the cannon bay

                G7
You'll be rolling through the pages lost for words

       Cm7               Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab can you tell me where

              F7               Ab
I can catch a ride out of here

       Cm7       Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab hoist that sail

              F7
You gotta stand up straight

               Ab               C7(no3rd)
When you ride that whale

         C7(no3rd)
In a crumbling city we were trapped for days

                F/C
With a broken sun above the clouds

                  C7(no3rd)
Caught like Jonah forty fathoms down

               F/C
And a sign on the wall saying, "Hope Allowed"

      Ab
All the cryptic symbols carved on bone

          F7
A far cry from a tattooed rose

                Ab
And when the boys in the rigging catch the wind

                G7
We'll all weigh anchor and it's westward ho

       Cm7               Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab can you tell me where

              F7               Ab
I can catch a ride out of here

       Cm7       Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab hoist that sail

              F7
You gotta stand up straight

               Ab
When you ride that whale

       Cm7               Cm7/Eb

               Ab               C7(no3rd)
When you ride that whale
