Hey Ahab
Intro: C7(no3rd) F/C
C7(no3rd)
It's a constant struggle getting up that hill
F/C
There's a change of guard every day
C7(no3rd)
When you're clinging onto a driftwood boat
F/C
You pray a great white whale might come your way
Ab
No freeway traffic in the frozen North
F7
Just a chain link fence full of birds
Ab
And when the harpoon's loaded in the cannon bay
G7
You'll be rolling through the pages lost for words
Cm7 Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab can you tell me where
F7 Ab
I can catch a ride out of here
Cm7 Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
F7
You gotta stand up straight
Ab C7(no3rd)
When you ride that whale

C7(no3rd)
In a crumbling city we were trapped for days
F/C
With a broken sun above the clouds
C7(no3rd)
Caught like Jonah forty fathoms down
F/C
And a sign on the wall saying, "Hope Allowed"
Ab
All the cryptic symbols carved on bone
F7
A far cry from a tattooed rose
Ab
And when the boys in the rigging catch the wind
G7
We'll all weigh anchor and it's westward ho
Cm7 Cm7/Eb

F7
You gotta stand up straight

When you ride that whale

When you ride that whale
