[Verse 1]
A The whales know things u haven’t seen Em The felt the weight of centuries G D The whales go places you don’t know A They ponder depths beyond below A The whales ferry their souls about Em They wail a song of whale renown G D They’re swimming thru the soul of earth A The whales alone know what it’s worth G The whales
[Harmonica Solo]
D/F# A G D A
[Verse 2]
A Since man crafted his rafts from land Em And sailed seas never understanding G D Marvels: submarine, beneath A For ancient myths and tales to keep A For Jonah Yu-Kiang and Job Em Ahab and Pinocchio G D Do whales tell tales of bearded men A And warn their calves of what has been
[Chorus]
G The whales D A G What will become of all the whales F#m A F#m What will become of all the whales A And ever since I was small D The whales did call Bm F#m The whales did call A Ever since I was small D The whales did call Bm The whales did call
[Verse 3]
A If rivers turn to mud and blood Em And cease to be and naught to run G D And the ocean loses all it’s air A And turns to plastic everywhere A To where will all the wisdom go Em The whale carries within her soul G D Will man continue on to rage A And neglect the oceanic saints: G D A G The whales
[Chorus]
D A D A F#m What will become of all the whales A And ever since I was small D The whales did call Bm F#m The whales did call A Ever since I was small D The whales did call Bm The whales did call
[Verse 4]
A What whales know you can’t understand Em They took a breath Em And left the land G D Constellations guide them on A Their souls aligned with moon and stars A The whales feel joy A The whales disdain Em The whales triumphant Em Swim again G D We pray that all the whales prevail A In every ocean that they sail G The whales
[Chorus]
D A D A G What will become of all the whales D A What will become of all the whales?
