Misc Unsigned Bands – Hannah Werdmuller - Diurnal Migration (Guitar)

C                    F
Much of the ocean is not yet explored

C                        G
Though submarines pootle about the sea floor

C                           F
Discovering new species wherever they go

C                               G         C
Such as elephant-like-squid and eels that glow.

C                       F
The following formula's certainly true

C                     G
Of predation dynamics down in the blue:

C                                F
From the tiniest plankton to the biggest species yet,

C                        G         C
One thing they eat, by another are ate.

C                 F
Here is where a dilemma arises

C                                G     C
For the noble phytoplankton photosynthesises

C                                 F
And is thus confined to where the sun shines through,

C                        G         C
And so by necessity what eats them too.

C                            F
But in the photic zone it is easier to see -

C                          G
The surface is a dangerous place to be.

C                         F
The darkness it offers substantial protection

       C                      G        C
From becoming some predator's tasty confection.

C                         F
So to the surface fishies travel at night

             C                      G
When there's less chance of being espied in the light

    C                   F
But during the day to escape predation

     C             G         C              F        C
They return deeper down, and that's diurnal migration.
