Belly of the Whale

	  		G                          D  
   Up to my ears in bitter tears  
                   Em  
Can't believe i've sunk this low  
      C                 D   
As I walk the plankton, Inner sanctum  
G                           D  
Got outta dodge, sailed on a Bonless Bon Voyage  
          Em                                  
You said North, I headed south,   
             C                         D  
tossed overboard, Good lord that's a really large mouth  


Em       D            C           D  
   I'm sleepin' with fishes here  
                     Em  
(In the Belly of the Whale)  
Em       D            C           D  
   I'm highly nutritious here  
                     Em  
(In the Belly of the Whale)  
Em       D            C           D  
   Bad food, Lousy atmosphere  
                     Em  
(I don't wanna bellyache)  
Em       D            C  
   How long is this gonna take? 
 
(VERSE 2)  

G                          D  
   Woke up this morning kinda blue  
                   Em  
Thinkin' throught that age old question  
      C         D   
How to exit a whale's digestion  
G                               D  
    It might behoove me to be heaved  
          Em                                  
Head out like a human comet   
             C                    D  
(hmm, I wonder what rythmes with comet)  


Em       D            C           D  
   I'm sleepin' with fishes here  
D                     Em  
(In the Belly of the Whale)  
Em       D            C           D  
   They say I'm delicious here  
                     Em  
(In the Belly of the Whale)  
Em       D            C           D  
   Lord please make him chuck it all  
                     Em  
           (Its a gut call)  
Em       D            C       D  
   In the belly of the whale   
Em  
(I'm in the belly)
  


(RAP)  
(same chords as the Chorus)  
In the belly of the whale  
It's an underwater jail  
It's a tight squeeze  
It's a-gettin to me but its roomier than the tail  

Hey sailor let me flow free  
like a salmon to the sea  
from the L.A symphany  
I'm a   

Paddle-Boat Paddling in their wake  
Fake freestyler  
but my unemployment pays  
im avoiding cliches like  

Whale of a tale and  
you cant keep a good man down  
cos u cant, cos a been there man
