lyrics

Whalefood

I use a capo on the 4th fret and play it in Eminor (Em, G, C, D then G and F at the end) but these are the real chords:

G#m, B, E (x2)

G#m B E G#m B E
I'm your water you said, see me big submarine
G#m B E
So hide here, dive, the deep land is warm
G#m B E
So hide here, dive, the deep land is warm
G#m B E
and he yawned
G#m B E
and he yawned

(chorus)
G#m B
Swallow me down
E F#
to your big blue belly
G#m B E
I want to dive down to the blue
F#
with you and me inside
G#m B E F#
And when you eat food I will eat food
G#m B E F#
And when you drink water I will drink water too

G#m B E B E B E B (x 2)

G#m B E G#m B E
A year of want and here at the edge of thought we dive
G#m B E
with an eye for an eye for the song in me
G#m B E
with an eye for an eye for the song in me

(chorus)

B A B A B A B (x 2)

B A B A
We collide in a dark blue dream
B A B
wide water months in the belly (x2)

B A B A
I black, I lack, I salt wash, I cave
B A B
I blue, I waiting (x2)

then B A B A to end
