Hey Ahab
Intro: C7(no3rd) F/C
C7(no3rd)
It's a constant struggle getting up that hill
F/C
There's a change of guard every day
C7(no3rd)
When you're clinging onto a driftwood boat
F/C
You pray a great white whale might come your way
Ab
No freeway traffic in the frozen North
F7
Just a chain link fence full of birds
Ab
And when the harpoon's loaded in the cannon bay
G7
You'll be rolling through the pages lost for words

Hey Ahab can you tell me where
F7 Ab
I can catch a ride out of here

Hey Ahab hoist that sail
F7
You gotta stand up straight
Ab C7(no3rd)
When you ride that whale
C7(no3rd)
In a crumbling city we were trapped for days
F/C
With a broken sun above the clouds
C7(no3rd)
Caught like Jonah forty fathoms down
F/C
And a sign on the wall saying, "Hope Allowed"
Ab
All the cryptic symbols carved on bone
F7
A far cry from a tattooed rose
Ab
And when the boys in the rigging catch the wind
G7
We'll all weigh anchor and it's westward ho

Hey Ahab hoist that sail
F7
You gotta stand up straight

When you ride that whale

When you ride that whale
