G5                          D5 
   Up to my ears in bitter tears 
                   E5 
Can't believe ive sunk this low 
      C5                 D5  
As I walk the planktom , Inner sanctum 
G5                           D5 
Got outta dodge, sailed on a Bonless Bon Voyage 
          E5                                 
You said North, I headed south,  
             C5                         D5 
tossed overboard, Good lord thats a really large mouth 


E5       D5            C5           D5 
   I'm sleepin' with fishes here 
                     E5 
(In the Belly of the Whale) 
E5       D5            C5           D5 
   I'm highly nutritious here 
                     E5 
(In the Belly of the Whale) 
E5       D5            C5           D5 
   Bad food, Lousy atmosphere 
                     E5 
(I don't wanna bellyache) 
E5       D5            C5 
   How long is this gonna take?  

(VERSE 2) 


G5                          D5 
   Woke up this morning kinda blue 
                   E5 
Thinkin' throught that age old question 
      C5         D5  
How to exit a whale's digestion 
G5                               D5 
    It might behoove me to be heaved 
          E5                                 
Head out like a human comet  
             C5                    D5 
(hmm , i wonder what rythmes with comet) 


E5       D5            C5           D5 
   I'm sleepin' with fishes here 
D5                     E5 
(In the Belly of the Whale) 
E5       D5            C5           D5 
   They say i'm delicious here 
                     E5 
(In the Belly of the Whale) 
E5       D5            C5           D5 
   Lord please make him chuck it all 
                     E5 
           (Its a gut call) 
E5       D5            C5       D5 
   In the belly of the whale  
E5 
(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
