[INTRO]
Bm A G A x3
Bm A G (hold)
[VERSE 1]
D A Up to my ears in bitter tears Bm Can't believe I've sunk this low A As I walk the plankton
Inner sanctum.
D Got outta Dodge, A Sailed on a bon-less
Bon voyage.
Bm
You said North,I headed South.
A Tossed overboard. Bm Good Lord, that's a really large mouth...
[CHORUS 1]
Bm A G A I'm sleeping with fishes here, Bm In the belly of the whale. A G A I'm highly nutritious here, Bm In the belly of the whale. A G A Bad food, lousy atmosphere. Bm I don't wanna bellyache. A G How long is this gonna take?
[VERSE 2]
D A Woke up this morning kinda blue, Bm Thinking through that age-old question: A How to exit a whale's digestion? D A It might behoove me to be heaved. Bm Head out like a human comet....
(Spoken) "Hey guys you might not wanna rhyme with comet"
[CHORUS 2]
Bm A G A I'm sleeping with fishes here, Bm In the belly of the whale. A G A I'm highly nutritious here, Bm In the belly of the whale. A G A I'm ready to reappear. Bm I don't wanna bellyache. A G How long is this gonna take?
[BRIDGE 1] (SOFT AND SLOW)
C G D End times, they come rolling around. C G D C Enzymes, they come breaking us down to the core. D The good Lord grants we all get a second chance.
[CHORUS 2]
Bm A G A I'm one of the dishes here, Bm In the belly of the whale. A G A They say I'm delicious here, Bm In the belly of the whale. A G Lord, please make him chuck it all. A It's a gut call Bm A G In the belly of the whale.
[BRIDGE 2]
A I'm in the belly of the whale. Bm A G In the belly of the whale. A I'm in the belly. Bm A G In the belly of the whale. A I'm in the belly of the whale. Bm A G In the belly of the whale. A I'm in the belly...
[VERSE 3]
Bm In the belly of the whale A In an underwater jail G It's a tight squeeze. A It's a-gettin' to me, Bm But it's roomier
Than the tail.
A Hey, sailor, G Got my flow free A Like a salmon to the sea Bm From the L.A. Symphony. A I'm a paddleboat G Paddlin' in their wake, A A fake free-styler, Bm But my unemployment pays. A I'm avoiding cliches G Like "whale of a tale" stale A Or "you can't keep Bm A good man down," A 'Cause you can G And I've been there, man. A But I've been expectorated. Bm I'm elated! A I'm free like Willie! G Happy Day! A Oops, Bm That's a bit of a cliche. Bm A G A In the belly... (fades out)
