[G]
On a fateful day in the month of May I was sitting [D] catching fish
[G] When a magic whale swam up to the rail and said please [D] make a wish
[C] So I said well [G] gee I'd love to [Am] be like you a giant whale [C] next thing I [G] knew I was grayish [Em] blue
And I had a two-ton tail sing a whale song
[D] Sing a whale song
[C] Sing a whale song
[D] Sing a whale song
As the flounder [G] said to the oyster bed sing the whale song
[D]
With a mighty leap I dove down deep and swam out [D] through the cove
[G] Then a race to the top did a belly [D] flop and down again
I dove [C] from the Arctic [G] to the Baltic [A] to the far off [G] Hebrides [C] like a submarine [G] through the deep blue [Em] green
I swam the seven seas and sang a whale song
[D] Sing a whale song
[C] Sing a whale song
As the dogfish barked to the [G] great white shark sing the whale song
[E]
[D] But there were some things I wish I could [G] forget
Like [D] that garbage scow
[Em] off a curacao
Or that [D] oil spill
[G]
below Brazil
[Am] Or getting caught [Em] in that giant net [A] and I couldn't get out and oh was [D] I upset
So [G] I had to hail that magic whale who changed me [D] back once more
[G] Say it now that you know the great below [D] we need your help on shore
[C] To tell your [G] tale of being a [Am] whale and all you've [G] seen and done
[C] Then wet and dry will [Em] unify and all the world [G] is one

From [D] the smallest to the tallest tree from the highest
