Where There’s a Will, There’s a Whalebone
for the first part of the song, the following 4 chords are repeated
Fm G# C# Bbm
In the morning I set sail on a whalebone
The gale force winds made the sky grow
I was far out in the ocean
I cut the roof of my mouth on the potion
And down down down went the femur
I let my backbone slide into the ether
Laying low in a tropical hideout
If anyone finds out, I'll turn their lights out
then, it breaks down:
Fm G# C# Bbm [x2]
Fm C#
Fm C C# E
rap part:
Fm C#
Fm C C# E
after the rap, it goes back to
Fm G# C# Bbm
In the evening I arrived on a wishbone
So I wished all the stars would go home
And one was a dog with it's tail drawn
It laughed as it shed now when it's long gone
I remember the flavour
But I made a choice to stay here
Laying low in a tropical hideout
If anyone finds out, I'll turn their lights out
