08 Whaling storiesIntro: Eb Dm G Bbm
Pailing well after sixteen days, a m[Bm/D]ammoth t[F#m/C#]ask was set [A/Bb]
Sack the town, [Em/G]and rob the tower, and [Bm/F#]steal the alp[Em/G]habet [B/D#]
Close the d[Bm/D]oor and [Am/C]bar the [Em/B]gate, but keep the windows clean
God’s al[Bm/D]ive ins[Am/C]ide a [Em/]movie! [Em/B]Watch the silver screen! [E/G#]
Rum was served to all the traitors; pygmies held themselves in check
Bloodhounds nosed[Em/G] around the houses, down dark alley[/D]s sailors crept[/D]
Six bells struck, the pot was boiling – soup spilled out on passers-by
Angels mumbled incantations, closely [Bm/F#]watched by God on high
Bass: Em (E,F#,G, A Bb C, C#,D) D ://:
Em +5-5 ://: F#m +5-5 ://: Bass G,A,Bb,C,C#,D,E,F#
Lightning struck out – fire and brimstone!
Boiling oil and shrieking steam!
[Dm/A]Darkness struck with molten fury, flashbulbs glorified the scene
Bass: C,D,Eb,F,F#,G,A,Bb
Not a man who had a finger, not a man who could be seen
Nothing called (not name nor number) - Echo stormed its final scream
Solo over BAss(E,F#,G, A Bb C, C#,D)x12 Eb G x2
Daybreak [Bb/F]washed with sands of gladness, rotting all it rotted clean
Windows pe[Bb/F]eped out on their neighbors, inside fireside bedsides gleam
SHALIMAR, the trumpets chorused, angels wholly all shall ta-a- ake
Those alive [Ab/C]will meet the prophets, t[G/B]hose at peace shall see G
their wake
