Ode To Big Blue chords

[VERSE 1]

The [Am]oceans of the [C]world were the [G]home of big [Am]blue
He [C]was the greatest [Cmaj7]monster that the[Em7/A] world ever knew
And the [Am]place that he loved [C]best --- Was the [B7]waters to the [Am]west
Aro[C]und the blue Pac[G]ific he did [Am]roam

[VERSE 2]

Big [Am]Blue moved al[C]one for a [G]mighty blue was [Am]he
And the [C]battles of the [Cmaj7]whales was an [Em7/A]awesome sight to see
And he [Am]took them one by [C]one and he [B7]drove them all a[Am]way
In the [C]mating of the [G]day he was the [Am]king

[VERSE 3]

Big [Am]blue had fifty [C]wives and he [G]sired forty [Am]sons
Though [C]most of them fell [Cmaj7]victim to the [Em7/A]cruel harpoon guns
Ah but [Am]he was too much [C]wise to get [B7]caught by the gunners' [Am]eyes
And [C]so he lived at [G]sea a hundred [Am]years

[VERSE 4]

His [Am]mouth was as [C]large as a [G]tunnel so they [Am]say
His [C]hide was thick as [Cmaj7]leather and his [Em7/A]eyes quick and small
And his [Am]back was all [C]scarred by the [B7]times he got a[Am]way
And he [C]knew the smell of [G]whalers did Big [Am]Blue

[VERSE 5]

Big [Am]Blue passed a[C]way to his [G]natural de[Am]cay
Bes[C]ide the Arctic [Cmaj7]Circle as he [Em7/A]travelled up that way
And there [Am]never was a [C]man who was [B7]born with a gunner's [Am]hand
Who [C]ever took a [G]pan to Big [Am]Blue

[VERSE 6]

Now the [Am]gray whale has [C]run and the [G]sperm is almost [Am]done
The [C]finbacks and the [Cmaj7]Greenland rights have [Em7/A]all passed and gone
They've been [Am]taken by the [C]men for the [B7]money they could [Am]spend
And the [C]killing next [G]ends, it just goes [Am]on

[VERSE 7]

The [Am]oceans of the [C]world were the [G]home of big [Am]blue
He [C]was the greatest [Cmaj7]monster that the[Em7/A] world ever knew
And the [Am]place that he loved [C]best --- Was the [B7]waters to the [Am]west
Aro[C]und the blue Pac[G]ific he did [Am]roam
