Ode To Big Blue

    Am            C              
The oceans of the world were the 
G           Am
home of big blue
   C                Cmaj7         
He was the greatest monster that 
  Em7/A
the world ever knew
        Am                  C     
And the place that he loved best 
       G             Am
was the waters to the west
  C               G            Am
Around the blue Pacific he did roam


[Verse 2]

    Am           C         G     
Big Blue moved alone for a mighty
          Am
 blue was he
        C              Cmaj7      
And the battles of the whales was 
   Em7/A
an awesome sight to see
       Am               C          
And he took them one by one and he 
G               Am
drove them all away
       C             G            
In the mating of the day he was 
  Am
the king


[Verse 3]

    Am             C          
Big blue had fifty wives and he 
  G           Am
sired forty sons
       C                 Cmaj7    
Though most of them fell victim to
     Em7/A
 the cruel harpoon guns

       Am              C           
Ah but he was too much wise to get 
G                      Am
caught by the gunners' eyes
    C              G             
And so he lived at sea a hundred 
Am
years


[Verse 4]

    Am           C          G    
His mouth was as large as a 
          Am
tunnel so they say
    C                 Cmaj7       
His hide was thick as leather and 
    Em7/A
his eyes quick and small
        Am           C            
And his back was all scarred by 
  G             Am
the times he got away
       C                 G        
And he knew the smell of whalers 
       Am
did Big Blue


[Verse 5]

    Am           C          G    
Big Blue passed away to his 
     Am
natural decay
   C              Cmaj7        
Beside the Arctic Circle as he 
Em7/A
travelled up that way
          Am          C           
And there never was a man who was 
G                    Am
born with a gunner's hand
    C           G          Am
Who ever took a pan to Big Blue


[Verse 6]

        Am             C           
Now the gray whale has run and the 
G               Am
sperm is almost done
    C                Cmaj7   
The finbacks and the Greenland 
              Em7/A
rights have all passed and gone
             Am           C       
They've been taken by the men for 
    G                Am
the money they could spend
        C             G           
And the killing never ends, it 
       Am
just goes on


[Verse 7]

    Am            C              
The oceans of the earth were the 
G           Am
home of big blue
   C                Cmaj7         
He was the greatest monster that 
   Em7/A
the world ever knew
        Am                  C     
And the place that he loved best 
       G             Am
was the waters to the west
  C               G            Am
Around the blue Pacific he did roam
