Save The Whales

Dm
(início)
Dm C When my grandpa was a boy, he went down to the general store Dm C Dm Saw a picture book of a whale shooting its spout and flashin' its tail Dm C Then he got a sailor's dream 'bout cruisin' around on the salty sea Dm C Dm Joinin' up with a fishin' crew to go out and get him a whale or two Dm C Tell me what kind of men are these who sail upon the salty seas Dm C Dm Up in the rigging in the afternoon, swabbin' the decks and sharpenin' harpoons
Chorus
Dm C Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises Dm C Dm Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning Dm C Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises Dm C Dm Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
Verse 2
Dm C There're lots of whales in the deep blue sea, we kill them for the industry Dm C Dm We drag 'em 'longside and chop 'em in two and melt 'em down and sell 'em to you Dm C There hardly is a sailor alive who can keep the tears from his eyes Dm C Dm As he remembers the good old days when there were no whales to save Dm C Thank the Russians and Japanese for scouring the deep blue seas Dm C Dm Looking for ivory and perfume and plastic toys and pet food
Chorus
Dm C Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises Dm C Dm Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning Dm C Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises Dm C Dm Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
Verse 3
Dm C Shanghaied by the light of the moon, put out from Boston in the middle of June Dm C Dm After six months out at sea, it's nothin' but death and misery Dm C Set out on a three-year cruise, a union ship and a union crew Dm C Dm And after six months you begin to see, that whalin's not what it used to be Dm C A modern ship and a modern crew with sonar scopes and explodin' harpoons Dm C Dm A mechanical boat made outta steel, a floating machine built to kill the whales
Chorus
Dm C Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises Dm C Dm Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning Dm C Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises Dm C Dm Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
