Yes - Dont Kill The Whale Chords & Tabs

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
		Don't Kill the Whale – Yes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

A strange and beautiful recording. 

There is one thing I'm not quite sure of: The F# in the verses seems to be a major chord - 
Anderson, at least, sings a major third. Something in the instrumental track, 
on the other hand, somehow suggests a minor third without really coming forward with it. 
With the absence of the lead vocals in both instrumental verses the F# seems to be more minor 
than major. Any ideas? Comments highly welcome!
