[Verse 1]
D D A Asus A G G A
They say he didn't have an enemy
D D A Asus A G
His was a greatness to behold
D D A Asus A G G A
He was the last surviving progeny
D D A Asus A G
The last one on this side of the world
D D A Asus A G G A
He measured a half mile from tip to tail
D D A Asus A G
Silver and black with powerful fins
D D A Asus A G G A
They say he could split a mountain in two
D D A Asus A G
That's how we got the Grand Canyon
[Chorus]
D D A Asus A G G A
Last great American whale
D D A Asus A G
Last great American whale
D D A Asus A G G A
Last great American whale
D D A Asus A G
Last great American whale
[Verse 2]
D D A Asus A G G A
Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes
D D A Asus A G
Some say they saw him off of Florida
D D A Asus A G G A
My mother said she saw him in Chinatown
D D A Asus A G
But you can't always trust your mother
D D A Asus A G G A
Off the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day
D D A Asus A G
The lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
D D A Asus A G G A
The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son
D D A Asus A G
And he'd been on death row since 1958
[Verse 3]
D D A Asus A G G A
The mayor's kid was a rowdy pig
D D A Asus A G
Spit on Indians and lots worse
D D A Asus A G G A
The old chief buried a hatchet in his head
D D A Asus A G
Life compared to death for him seemed worse
D D A Asus A G G A
The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing
D D A Asus A G
And tried to conjure up a storm or rain
D D A Asus A G G A
The harbor parted, the great whale sprang full up
D D A Asus A G
And caused a huge tidal wave
[Verse 4]
D D A Asus A G G A
The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief
D D A Asus A G
The tribe let out a roar
D D A Asus A G G A
The whites were drowned, the browns and reds set free
D D A Asus A G
But sadly one thing more
D D A Asus A G G A
Some local yokel member of the NRA
D D A Asus A G
Kept a bazooka in his living room
D D A Asus A G G A
And thinking he had the chief in his sights
D D A Asus A G
Blew the whale's brains out with a lead harpoon
[Chorus]
D D A Asus A G G A
Last great American whale
D D A Asus A G
Last great American whale
D D A Asus A G G A
Last great American whale
D D A Asus A G
Last great American whale
[Verse 5]
D D A Asus A G G A
Well Americans don't care for much of anything
D D A Asus A G
Land and water the least
D D A Asus A G G A
And animal life is low on the totem pole
D D A Asus A G
With human life not worth more than infected yeast
D D A Asus A G G A
Americans don't care too much for beauty
D D A Asus A G
They'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
D D A Asus A G G A
They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
D D A Asus A G
And complain if they can't swim
D D A Asus A G G A
They say things are done for the majority
D D A Asus A G
Don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
D D A Asus A G G A
It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
D D A Asus A G
"Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"
[Verse 1]
D D A Asus A G G A
They say he didn't have an enemy
D D A Asus A G
His was a greatness to behold
D D A Asus A G G A
