Life is whittled life's a riddle
        D                F#7
Man's a fiddle that life plays on
         Bm
When the day breaks and the earth quakes
         D               F#7              
Life's a mystery all day long
            Bm          Em
You tell me who gives a good God damn
       Bm             F#7
You'll never get out alive
         Bm                    Em
Don't go dreaming don't go scheming
  Bm                Em         F#7              Bm
A man must test his metal in a crooked old world
Bm
Starvin' in the belly, starvin' in the belly 
                           Em
Starvin' in the belly of a whale
          Bm                    
Oh you're starvin' in the belly, starvin in the belly
                F#7        Bm
Starvin' in the belly of a whale
