The Whale by Burl Ives - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Burl Ives Song List

Version 1

            G          C
In San Francisco town there lived a whale
F
She ate pork chops by the pail
C                       Am
By the pill-box, by the suitcase,
G                      C
By the bathtub, by the schooner

G   C
Her name is Sara and she's a peach
F
But you can't leave food within her reach
C                    Am
Nor nurse-maids, nor Airedales,
    G                   C
Nor chocolate ice cream sodas.

G   C
She eats a lot but when she smiles
F
You can see her teeth for miles and miles,
C                         Am
And her adenoids, and her spare ribs,
    G                    C
And things too fierce to mention.

G  C
So what can you do in a case like that?
F
What can you do except sit on your hat,
C                         Am
Or your toothbrush, or your grandmother,
   G                    C
Or anything else that's helpless.
