G                          D 
   Up to my ears in bitter tears 
                   Em 
Can't believe ive sunk this low 
      C                 D  
As I walk the planktom , Inner sanctum 
G                           D 
Got outta dodge, sailed on a Bonless Bon Voyage 
          Em                                 
You said North, I headed south,  
             C                         D 
tossed overboard, Good lord thats a really large mouth 


Em       D            C           D 
   I'm sleepin' with fishes here 
                     Em 
(In the Belly of the Whale) 
Em       D            C           D 
   I'm highly nutritious here 
                     Em 
(In the Belly of the Whale) 
Em       D            C           D 
   Bad food, Lousy atmosphere 
                     Em 
(I don't wanna bellyache) 
Em       D            C 
   How long is this gonna take?  

(VERSE 2) 


G                          D 
   Woke up this morning kinda blue 
                   Em 
Thinkin' throught that age old question 
      C         D  
How to exit a whale's digestion 
G                               D 
    It might behoove me to be heaved 
          Em                                 
Head out like a human comet  
             C                    D 
(hmm , i wonder what rythmes with comet) 


Em       D            C           D 
   I'm sleepin' with fishes here 
D                     Em 
(In the Belly of the Whale) 
Em       D            C           D 
   They say i'm delicious here 
                     Em 
(In the Belly of the Whale) 
Em       D            C           D 
   Lord please make him chuck it all 
                     Em 
           (Its a gut call) 
Em       D            C       D 
   In the belly of the whale  
Em 
(I'm in the belly)  


(RAP) 
(same chords as the Chorus) 
In the belly of the whale 
It's an underwater jail 
It's a tight squeeze 
It's a-gettin to me but its roomier than the tail 

Hey sailor let me flow free 
like a salmon to the sea 
from the L.A symphany 
I'm a  

Paddle-Boat Paddling in their wake 
Fake freestyler 
but my unemployment pays 
im avoiding cliches like 

Whale of a tale and 
you cant keep a good man down 
cos u cant, cos a been there man
