The Last Of The Great Whales

     G            C        G          C    D   G
I am the last of the great whales and I am dying
G                C         G      C    D       G
My soul has been torn from me and I am bleeding
G           C         G      C    D     G
My heart it has been rent and I am crying
G              C         G         F    G      C
All the beauty around me fades and I am screaming
     G            C        G          C    D   G
I am the last of the great whales and I am dying

[Verse 2]

G            C         G         C    D       G
Last night I heard the cry of my last companion
G              C         G      C      D       G
The roar of the harpoon gun and then I was alone
G                C         G       F       G      C
I thought of the days gone by when we were thousands
G                 C         G        C    D       G
But I know that I soon must die the last leviathan

[Verse 3]

G                C         G          C      D       G
This morning the sun did rise Crimson in the north sky
G                C         G            C          D    G
The ice was the colour of blood and the winds they did sigh
G              C     G      F         G    C
I rose for to take a breath it was my last one
G                   C       G          C    D   G
From a gun came the roar of death and now I am done

[Verse 4]

G                C      G           C       D     G
Oh now that we are all gone there's no more hunting
G              C      G            C  D       G
The big fellow is no more it's no use lamenting
G                  C      G         F       G      C
What race will be next in line? All for the slaughter
G            C      G             C       D       G
The elephant or the seal or your sons and daughters

[Verse 5]

G                C         G      C    D       G
My soul has been torn from me and I am bleeding
G           C         G      C    D     G
My heart it has been rent and I am crying
G              C         G         F    G      C
All the beauty around me fades and I am screaming
     G            C        G          C    D   G
I am the last of the great whales and I am dying
