Don't Kill the Whale ? Yes

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
A strange and beautiful recording.
There is one thing I'm not quite sure of: The F# in the verses seems to be a major chord -
Anderson, at least, sings a major third. Something in the instrumental track,
on the other hand, somehow suggests a minor third without really coming forward with it.
With the absence of the lead vocals in both instrumental verses the F# seems to be more minor
than major. Any ideas? Comments highly welcome!
Yes
Don't Kill the Whale (1978)
(Jon Anderson/Chris Squire)
From: "Tormato"
Intro | Bm | A | Em | G | C | F#m | F# |
[Bm]You're first I'm last
You're thirst I'm [C]asked to justi[Bm]fy
[A]Killing our last heaven [F#]beast
Don't hunt the w[G]hale
[Bm]In beauty vision
Do we [D]offer [A/C#]much
If we [A]reason with destiny, gonna [F#]lose our touch
Don't kill the [G]whale, dig it!
| Bm | C Bm | A | F#(m?) | G |
(Solo git)
| Bm | D A/C# | A | F#(m?) | G | G |
(Solo git)
[Bm]Rejoice they sing
They worship [C]their own [Bm]space
In a [A]moment of love, they will [F#]die for their grace
Don't kill the [G]whale
[Bm]If time will allow
We will [D]judge all who [A/C#]came
In the [A]wake of our new age to [F#]stand for the frail
Don't kill the [G]whale, dig it, dig it!
