A WHALE & A BIRD
Tom Waits
this is a beautifull little song from Toms new album ALICE
G D G C D
They crowd around for the sailor, and they heard his tale
G Em C D G C Am
Of a world that was so far away, and a song that we never heard
D G C Am D G
A song of a little bird, who fell in love with a whale
G D G
He said you can not live in the ocean
C D G Em C Am
And she said to him you never can live in the sky
D G C Am D G C Am
But the ocean is filled with tears, and the sea turns into a mirror
D G C Am D G
There’s a whale in the moon when it’s clear, and a bird on the tide
G F#m C Am C D
Oh please don’t cry, let me dry your eyes
G D G
So tell me that you will wait for me
C D G Em C Am
Hold me in your arms I promise we never will part
D G C Am D G C Am
I’ll never sail back to the tide, and I’ll always pretend you’re mine
D G C Am D G
Though I know that we both most part, you can live in my heart
G F#m C Am C D
Oh please don’t cry, let me dry your eyes
G D G
So tell me that you will wait for me
C D G Em C Am
Hold me in your arms I promise we never will part
D G C Am D G C Am
I’ll never sail back to the tide, and I’ll always pretend that you’re mine
D G C Am D G
Though I know that we both most part, you can live in my heart
