The Whale Song Chords & Tabs
I did not make this, Will from ModMouse did, I take no credit besides fixing
up the look of it to appear correct on here.
e|---8--8--6--6------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------8-9-8-9-8--9-9-9-9-8-9-8--9-9-9-9-8-6-8--------....\4---|
G|-8--8--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Its not a bad idea to slide the 8 to 9s on B, 8/9
e|--8-6-8-6-8-6-6-6-6------------------------|
B|-------------------------9-8-9-8-8-8-9-----|
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
Then some crazy slidy stuff which is basically starting on each note above and then
up a bit and back down..... sort of.
