I WHALE
As recorded by Mount Eerie
(From the 2010 Album SONG ISLANDS VOL. 2)

[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7 C
So I set out on the sea
Fmaj7 Am G
With a little food for me
Fmaj7 G
And a sharp harpoon for the whale that I'm hunting
Fmaj7 C
The fine women on the shore
G
They called out "give us more!"
Fmaj7 G
But I have nothing to give (as if I did before)

[Verse 2]
Am Fmaj7 C
Before my house burned down last night
Fmaj7 Am G
And I killed my friends in a fight
Fmaj7 G
So like I said, I paddled out in morning light
C Fmaj7 C
To see if I could see
Fmaj7 G
A shape come from the deep
Fmaj7 G
Or if I could hear it's song of love at night taunt me

[Bridge]
Am
And though I know I'm getting some
G
My fingers are getting numb
Fmaj7 Em G
I sit and toss and the cold waves wash over me
Am
And I've been out here for sixty days
G
There's no sign of spout or spray
Fmaj7 Em G
And the cold dark night falls down the flat black sea

[Verse 3]
C Fmaj7 C
And in the calm I close my eyes
Am G
I lean back, rock from side to side
Fmaj7 G C
I am placid, I have slowly gone starry skies
Fmaj7 C Am G
With half closed eyes
