Intro:
  B5 , A5 , G5 , A5 , B5 , A5 , G5 , A5 , B5 , A5 , G5 , A5 , B5 , A5 , G5

D5
  Up to my ears
            C5
  In bitter tears
                     D5
  Can't believe I've sunk this low
        E5
  As I walk the plankton

  Inner sanctum
D5
  Got outta dodge
              C5
  Sailed on a bon-less bon voyage
           D5
  You said North I headed South
         E5
  Tossed overboard
                                   D5
  Good Lord, that's a really large mouth


  Chorus:
B5      A5            G5
  I'm sleeping with fishes here
A5                     B5
  In the belly of the whale
      A5         G5
  I'm highly nutritious here
A5                     B5
  In the belly of the whale
      A5            G5
  Bad food, lousy atmosphere
A5                     B5
  I don't wanna bellyache
       A5           G5
  How long is this gonna take


  D5                          C5
  Woke up this morning kinda blue
                        D5
  Thinking through that age-old question
  E5
  How to exit a whale's digestion
  D5                         C5
  It might behoove me to be heaved
  D5               E5
  Head out like a human comet


  Chorus:
B5     A5             G5
  I'm sleeping with fishes here
A5                     B5
  In the belly of the whale
      A5         G5
  I'm highly nutritious here
A5                     B5
  In the belly of the whale
      A5         G5
  I'm ready to reappear
A5                    B5
  I don't wanna bellyache
        A5                G5
  Lord, how long's this gonna take


B5                     A5
  End times they come rolling around
B5                   C5
  Enzymes they come breaking us down to the core
B5                         A5         G5
  The good Lord grants we all get a second chance



  Chorus:
B5     A5          G5
  I'm one of the dishes here
A5                     B5
  In the belly of the whale
       A5         G5
  They say I'm delicious here
A5                     B5
  In the belly of the whale
        A5                G5
  Lord, please make him chuck me out
A5
  It's a gut call
  B5      A5            G5
  in the belly of the whale


A5                          B5
  I'm in the belly of the whale
         A5            G5
  In the belly of the whale
      A5
  I'm in the belly
B5        A5            G5
  In the belly of the whale
      A5                   B5
  I'm in the belly of the whale
         A5            G5
  In the belly of the whale
      A5
  I'm in the belly


         B5
  In the belly of the whale
         A5
  In an underwater jail
          G5
  It's a tight squeeze
                 A5
  It's a-gettin' to me
           B5
  But it's roomier than the tail
       A5
  Hey, sailor

  Got my flow free
           G5
  Like a salmon to the sea
                      A5
  From the L.A. Symphony
        B5
  I'm a paddleboat

  Paddlin' in their wake
     A5
  A fake free-styler
         G5
  But my unemployment pays
        A5
  I'm avoiding cliches
        B5
  Like "whale of a tale" stale
          A5
  Or "you can't keep
              G5
  A good man down,"
             A5
  'Cause you can

  And I've been there man
           B5
  But I've been expectorated
        A5
  I'm elated

  I'm free
       G5
  Like Willie

  Happy day
        A5
  Oops that's a bit of a cliche

Now the guitar plays this:
B5 , A5 , G5 , A5 , B5 , A5 ,  G5 , A5 , B5 , A5 , G5 , A5 , B5 , A5 , G5 , A5 , B5 , A5 , G5
While they repeat the same line:
"In the belly of the whale"
