C
Whale Mountain looked like a whale
Am
Large and round with a waterspout trail
G
Made of pine tree upside down
F                                  G
So it looked like a spout shooting off of the ground
F                                        C
The ground on top of Whale Mountain that is

C
Whale Mountain looks like a whale
Am
A curved piece of rock looked just like its tail
G
When the earth quaked

That tail did shake
F                                G
And it looked like the whale was swimming
F                               C
The whale mountain, I mean, was swimming

C
Drop it all if you want to
Am
I'll see you in the afternoon
G
Put the past behind you
       F       G
What a strange cartoon
C
If it all falls apart though
Am
Someone says "I told you so"
G
Don't listen to them, throw a coin in the fountain
F                                G
And meet your old friends on the top of Whale Mountain
F                             C
Whale Mountain is where we'll go

C
He had a band and practice space
Am
A studio with microphones
G                                F                   G
So it's no wonder you've written songs that everyone knows
C                          Am                                   G
You had an agent, a gig, a promo photograph to make it all come together
               F                 G
So you trade a sweatshirt in for leather
F                                           C
You can't be a shepherd if you don't have a flock
F                                             C
You can't wear the shoe unless you put on the sock
F                                    C
There's nothing to do but trade your stock
G                      F               C
No you can't start the spark without a rock
        G             F               C
And you can't start a spark without a rock
