D
  Up to my ears
            C
  In bitter tears
                     D
  Can't believe I've sunk this low
        E
  As I walk the plankton

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


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


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


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


B                     A
  End times they come rolling around
B                   C
  Enzymes they come breaking us down to the core
B                         A         G
  The good Lord grants we all get a second chance



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


A                          B
  I'm in the belly of the whale
         A            G
  In the belly of the whale
      A
  I'm in the belly
B        A            G
  In the belly of the whale
      A                   B
  I'm in the belly of the whale
         A            G
  In the belly of the whale
      A
  I'm in the belly


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

  Got my flow free
           G
  Like a salmon to the sea
                      A
  From the L.A. Symphony
        B
  I'm a paddleboat

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

  And I've been there man
           B
  But I've been expectorated
        A
  I'm elated

  I'm free
       G
  Like Willie

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